About this home

Seller is requesting all offers be submitted by noon on Wednesday, 03/04/2026. Step back in time and bring your creative vision to this classic 1920s bungalow, perfectly situated in the charming community of Woodfin. This home offers an unbeatable location for those who crave both mountain adventure and urban culture, sitting strategically between the vibrant energy of the River Arts District and the bustling heart of downtown Asheville. Nature lovers will find themselves just minutes from the serene Asheville Botanical Gardens and literally around the corner from the trailhead of the Lookout Mountain Loop and the breathtaking Lookout Observatory. The residence itself serves as a true blank canvas, retaining some of the character of its era while awaiting a full modern reimagining. Whether you are an investor looking for a high-potential project or a homeowner dreaming of restoring a vintage gem to its former glory, the possibilities here are endless. The interior features a cozy living room with a unique fireplace nook currently housing an oil heater; however, please note that there is currently no heat source connected to the home, allowing the next owner to install the high-efficiency system of their choice. For those looking to expand their footprint, the two adjacent lots located directly behind the house are also available (MLS# 4349778 & 4349770). These additional parcels offer a rare opportunity to secure a larger yard, guaranteed privacy, or the flexibility to build a detached garage or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for guests or rental income. Outside, the property offers the opportunity to customize your entryway, as off-street parking will need to be created by the new owner. Bring your contractor, your imagination, and your passion for restoration to transform this 1920s treasure into a modern masterpiece.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
