59 Starnes Ave., Asheville, NC 28801

Full of charm and designed for flexible living, this home in the Montford Historic District blends historic character with modern updates. The main floor offers a welcoming living room, a parlor that could also serve as a dining room and an oversized, light-filled kitchen perfect for gatherings. A spacious wraparound porch adds outdoor living appeal, while upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms plus an office/flex room. Four fireplaces (one working) bring Victorian warmth, and the light-filled walkout basement invites your vision — think studio, gym, or garden apartment (with approvals). With a brand-new roof, updated HVAC, new water heater, and two off-street parking spots down a private alleyway, the practical upgrades are already done. Stroll to Montford favorites like High Five Coffee, the neighborhood’s morning hotspot; All Day Darling, the lively breakfast-and-lunch café locals love; and Little Jumbo, the craft cocktail and jazz bar everyone’s talking about. For equal fun, head across the bridge into downtown Asheville to explore art galleries, theaters, and acclaimed restaurants — all just blocks from your front door. Homes like this rarely become available - this one hasen't been on the market for 15 years, so act quickly!
