Description

This rare DUPLEX-style home, less than a mile from downtown, is privately set on a tucked-away flag lot in Asheville’s historic Montford district, offering a unique blend of seclusion, security, and modern flexibility. This property offers five designated parking spaces plus additional street parking, creating a rare and highly functional setup for a live/work lifestyle. With a separately metered apartment, it’s ideal for business use, client access, or potential tax advantages. Built just 12 years ago, it provides the peace of mind of newer construction, an appealing alternative to many neighboring homes approaching a century in age. The main residence (1,608 SF) features an open-concept layout, a vaulted front porch, and a chef’s kitchen with island and breakfast bar. The main-level suite includes a tiled walk-in shower, while the upper level offers two spacious bedrooms with soaring ceilings, oversized closets, and a shared full bath with double vanity. The attached APARTMENT (647 SF), with its own private entrance, functions as a true second residence, making this Duplex configuration ideal for rental income, guest accommodations, multigenerational living, or a dedicated home office. This built-in income opportunity provides a compelling way to offset ownership costs. The flag lot setting enhances the property with reduced street traffic, added privacy, and a quiet, retreat-like atmosphere, while still maintaining convenient access to downtown amenities. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with multiple private sitting areas, garden pathways, and close proximity to nearby parks and neighborhood trails. Additional highlights include LP Smart siding, energy-efficient systems, and a standing-height sealed crawlspace. A rare opportunity to own a modern home with income-producing potential and a private setting just moments from downtown Asheville.
