A quintessential 1915 bungalow in Asheville’s coveted Five Points neighborhood, 46 E Chestnut blends remarkable historic character with thoughtful modern updates in one of the city’s most walkable locations. G.W. McKibbin, architect of Grove Park Inn is listed as living in this house from 1925-1927. Set above the street on a beautifully landscaped lot, the home enjoys an unusual sense of privacy while remaining just one block from three grocery stores and an easy stroll to the heart of downtown Asheville. The property offers a shared driveway, a rear courtyard with approximately four inches of existing stone under the grass that has historically been used for off-street parking, and convenient adjacent street parking. A wide covered front porch overlooks the neighborhood and provides th e perfect perch for taking in the lively pedestrian energy of Five Points. The level front lawn, mature landscaping, stone retaining wall and established plantings create a welcoming approach, while the home’s pebble-dash and cedar-shake exterior and classic architectural lines preserve its early-20th-century charm. Inside, original heart-of-pine floors, exposed brick and beautifully preserved period details give the home warmth and authenticity throughout. The main level offers gracious, connected living spaces, including a light-filled dining room accented by an original bricked-in coal-burning fireplace and a comfortable living room with an additional fireplace. The renovated kitchen is both refined and highly functional, featuring quartz countertops, crisp white cabinetry, stainless appliances, abundant storage and a generous peninsula. Exposed brick, substantial wood trim and thoughtfully incorporated architectural details add depth and character. One of the home’s most memorable additions is the custom bar, complete with seating, warm exposed-brick surroundings and its own playful drink menu—an unexpected and wonderfully personal space for entertaining friends or settling in for an evening at home. A nearby pantry alcove provides additional storage and leads conveniently to a main-level half bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath, along with a second fully updated guest bathroom. The renovated baths with tile surround, classic black-and-white hex tile flooring and wainscoting, offer the comfort and functionality expected for modern living while remaining complementary to the home’s historic character. Outdoor living is another major highlight, with multiple spaces designed to enjoy the setting throughout the seasons. In addition to the covered front porch, the home offers a rear deck seating area, and mature landscaping, with plenty of room for outdoor lounging or entertaining.
