This classic 1923 American Foursquare in Asheville's beloved Five Points neighborhood offers a wonderful combination of historic charm, generous gathering spaces, and flexible living options. A traditional floor plan showcases original wood floors throughout the main living areas, tall windows that bring in natural light, and six original non-functional coal-burning fireplaces, each with its own distinctive stone, brick, tile, or antique mantel surround. The main level offers spacious living and dining areas with the warmth and craftsmanship of an earlier era. The updated kitchen blends old and new beautifully, incorporating exposed brick and other historic remnants alongside newer cabinetry, open shelving, and modern functionality. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with expansive wraparound porches, a charming screened porch, and a large open rear deck providing multiple places to gather, dine, or simply enjoy the wooded surroundings. Upstairs are three bedrooms plus a converted sleeping porch offering an ideal home office, nursery, reading room, or additional flex space. Built-in hallway shelving provides both character and exceptional storage-perfect for displaying an entire collection of classic literature. The full bath has vintage-inspired personality with a pedestal tub and ceiling-mounted oval shower ring, along with conveniently located washer and dryer. The lower level includes an exterior-access guest suite previously created by a prior owner and 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 tremendous potential for a studio, workshop, gardening space, or creative restoration project and conveys as-is. A rare opportunity to enjoy the craftsmanship, and enduring character of an early Asheville home while making the next chapter your own.
