Super-rare opportunity to get into this historical, secluded neighborhood perched above the River Arts District. A pathway (with a really cool gate) leads directly from the home to the River Arts where you can enjoy galleries, live music, breweries, theaters, excellent restaurants and coffee shops! Bask in the panoramic sunset views over the French Broad River from the wrap-around deck. Perfectly situated between downtown and all that West Asheville has to offer. Bike, run, you-name-it along the French Broad River Greenway below or launch a canoe! Gorgeous, original heart-pine floors throughout and flooded with natural light. Low-maintenance yard with beautiful cherry trees that explode in the spring. Brand-new boulder wall and drain just installed (12k) . NEW HVAC. Brand-new pet-proof, attractive fencing borders entire property. Master suite has its own private balcony off the back. Loaded with charm with all your modern-day conveniences (laundry on the main level - whew!)
