About this property
2 Block to downtown. Victorian Bungalow Meets Chic Urban Loft
SUMMARY: Park your car! Seriously. It's quicker to walk the 2 block to downtown than to find a parking spot there. Enjoy the privacy of the whole house to yourself; no other attached units. 2 bedroom, 1.5 baths, 1500 sqft.
ACCOLADES: "Unbeatable location", "Wonderfully unique", "looks like a Brooklyn loft", "very big yard" are all accolades from recent guests.
LOCATION: In the 400 yards between this bungalow and downtown you will transition from the treelined, Montford neighborhood to downtown's bustling restaurants, bars, breweries and busking. Hummingbird Park across the street. 2 blocks to the Civic Center, 3-4 blocks to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Grove Arcade and the urban greenway trail.
EXCLUSIVE AMMENTITIES: Off-street parking. Working first floor gas fireplace. Premium appliances: gas range, electric/gas oven, air fryer/toaster, dishwasher & washer/dryer, smart TV. Furnished interior and front/ back porches with full kitchen set up.
SHARED AMENITIES: Blazing fast WiFi, the double lot back yard, outdoor grill and stone patio/firepit are shared amenities with the carriage house apartment (rented as a separate unit).
PETS: Noteably, the carriage house guest egress the shared back yard. Pets will need to friendly to strangers and picked up after! Well managed pets will have free reign of both lots (rules apply). Back yards are fenced in and secure for all but the most acrobatic of dogs.
DESCRIPTION: Recent renovations exposed original beams and forgotten fireplaces in this c.1925 bungalow. Installed i-beams allowed interior walls to be removed creating an industrial, Brooklyn loft look in what would have otherwise been an very segmented Victorian home. Upstairs 15" lofted ceilings and many windows flood the rooms with natural light. Hand-made tile, patinaed brass fixtures, rustic barn doors and are a few of the details that make this an interesting space. Furnished with a mix of rustic antiques and casual modern furniture the place is comfortably unpretentious and easy to call home.
THE FINE PRINT: Community regulations require 28 night minimum for stand-alone dwellings like this one. Contact us with questions.
NOTE: The staircase to the second floor is original to the 1925 building and has two 90 degree turns which may be considered challenging for those with mobility concerns.

About the host
Hosted by Scott Buck
I live in both Asheville and Charleston, SC and completed renovation of this house in 2022 for my use and to share with visitors to Asheville. A long time visitor to Western NC, I'm excited to finally call this home.
Why they chose this property
Suspend Judgement. Embrace curiosity.
There's an unusual, edgy vibe to this city. Yes. It has obvious and wonderful attributes: architecture, outstanding food and beer culture, hiking, art, rafting, ziplines, etc... all framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains.
But what is LESS obvious are the wonderfully weird people that inhabit this place. Is this where people hangout before the next Burning Man? It's an oasis of hippie liberalism; replete with colorful characters, eclectic artisans, and bohemians of all stripes. You can be any version of yourself in this town.

What makes this property unique
It's tough to beat the location; only 2 blocks from downtown yet in a suburban setting, large double lot yard, park across the street. And it has an interesting aesthetic. Victorian on the outside with an unexpected bohemian meets comfortable loft feel on the inside.
