Property Description
Historic Asheville character, flexible living spaces, and an exceptional Five Points location come together in this classic 1923 American Foursquare. Just minutes from downtown Asheville and convenient to UNC Asheville, neighborhood restaurants, grocery shopping, greenways, and the Botanical Gardens, this distinctive home offers the charm of an earlier era with the benefits of in-town living. A traditional floor plan showcases original wood floors throughout the main living areas, tall windows that fill the home with natural light, and six original non-functional coal-burning fireplaces, each featuring its own distinctive stone, brick, tile, or antique mantel surround. Spacious living and dining rooms provide generous gathering spaces, while the updated kitchen thoughtfully blends old and new with exposed brick and historic remnants alongside newer cabinetry, open shelving, and modern functionality. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with expansive wraparound porches, a charming screened porch, and a large rear deck overlooking the wooded surroundings. Upstairs are three bedrooms plus a converted sleeping porch offering flexible space for a home office, nursery, reading room, or creative retreat. Built-in hallway shelving adds both character and exceptional storage, while the vintage-inspired full bath features a pedestal tub with ceiling-mounted oval shower ring and conveniently located laundry. The lower level expands the home's possibilities with an exterior-access guest suite created by a prior owner and previously used as additional living or short-term rental space; permits were not obtained for the conversion. Outside, the original carriage house with attached greenhouse offers even more potential for a studio, workshop, gardening space, or creative restoration project and conveys as-is. From nearby neighborhood conveniences to the Reed Creek and Glenn's Creek Greenways, UNC Asheville, the Botanical Gardens, and downtown Asheville's dining, shopping, and entertainment, 16 West Street offers a compelling combination of location and character. A rare opportunity to enjoy the craftsmanship and enduring personality of an early Asheville home while making its next chapter your own.
