Overview
Modern Dutch Colonial in Asheville’s Five Points—updated, light-filled, and walkable to Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter, Whole Foods, and downtown. Elevated above the street on a beautifully landscaped, fenced lot (~0.18 ac), this distinctive home pairs early-20th-century charm with thoughtful renovations and flexible living. A covered front porch frames lovely downtown views; a side deck extends everyday living outdoors.
Inside, approximately 2,400 sq ft spans two levels with a practical, inviting flow. The upper level offers two bedrooms and one bath—currently enjoyed as a permitted Homestay (city homestay rules apply; permits are typically non-transferable—buyer to verify). The lower level features two additional bedrooms and 1.5 baths, plus laundry, with fresh paint throughout and refinished floors that highlight the home’s character. Original lower windows have been renewed and operate smoothly, bringing in soft morning light and seasonal breezes. All fireplaces have been professionally closed—two on the main level and one upstairs—retaining architectural presence without the maintenance.
Comfort is handled by separate heat pumps for each level, with additional mini-splits serving the back portion of the lower level for dialed-in efficiency. The kitchen, living, and dining spaces connect easily for gatherings, movie nights, or quiet mornings with coffee on the porch overlooking town. A stone foundation, classic roofline overhangs, and period details anchor the home’s Dutch Colonial style, while recent improvements—including a newly renovated half bath downstairs, renewed windows, whole-house paint, and refreshed landscaping—deliver a turnkey experience.
Practicalities: no on-site parking (ample street parking in the neighborhood), fenced yard for pets/gardening, retaining wall at the front, crawl space below, and a moderate urban sound profile consistent with an in-town location. Zoning is RS-8 per city mapping (buyer to confirm). If you’ve been searching for an Asheville home for sale that blends historic character with modern updates and an A+ walkable location, this one stands out. Schedule your private showing and experience Five Points living—minutes to the heart of downtown Asheville. Owner/Broker. Pre-inspection available.
