Description
One of Montford's earliest surviving cottages, this beautifully preserved 1911 home is a contributing property in Asheville's nationally recognized Montford Historic District. The cottage sits above the street Overlooking historic Montford Park on a beautifully proportioned 0.23-acre lot with a large backyard. The property has been recently surveyed and has received preliminary approval from both the Historic Resources Commission and the City for a subdividable lot. All documentation conveys to the buyer who will have the option to complete and record final subdivision for a separate buildable lot or continued enjoyment of the spacious backyard. The home has some essential upgrades, while preserving its historic character. The home offers two bedrooms, one bath, with original bay windows and an inviting covered porch, both overlooking Montford Park, and an exceptional walkable location just minutes from downtown Asheville. On a quiet morning in 1911, Matilda Spann stood beside an unbuilt lane known as Iola Place, overlooking Montford Park, and began construction on the very first home the street would ever know. Only one additional residence was later built along that quiet lane, on a parcel she carved out and sold. Long before the road became Montford Park Place, and before Asheville grew into the vibrant mountain city it is today, this charming cottage quietly began its remarkable story. Inside, the home features a welcoming living room with original hardwood floors, a gracious dining room, and a light filled former sleeping porch that is now a wonderful sun room, offering flexible living space for an office, reading room or den. A covered rear porch sits just off the kitchen, while the generous covered front porch provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy views of Montford Park with it's pickleball, tennis and basketball courts and paved walkways for a stroll through the parks rolling hills. An unfinished basement offers excellent dry storage, and the original garage area provides additional space for gardening tools, bicycles, or outdoor equipment. Recent improvements providing modern comfort while preserving the home’s timeless character include new central air conditioning, gas furnace, new roof decking, new gutters, and 50-year architectural shingles on the new roof. Rich with history, craftsmanship, and enduring charm, this is far more than a home— it is one of the opening chapters in the story of one of Asheville's most beloved neighborhoods. Enjoy an exceptional walkable lifestyle just minutes from downtown Asheville, the Reed Creek Greenway, 3 neighborhood restaurants, and a local market. This extraordinary historic cottage is ready to begin its next chapter with its next fortunate steward.
