Overlooking Montford Park, this beautifully preserved 1911 original Montford cottage is one of the neighborhood’s earliest surviving homes and a contributing property in Asheville’s nationally recognized Montford Historic District. Set on a beautifully proportioned 0.23-acre subdividable lot, the property has been recently surveyed and has received preliminary approval from both the Historic Resources Commission and the City of Asheville for subdivision. All documentation conveys to the buyer, who may complete and record the final subdivision to create a separate buildable lot or continue enjoying the rare, spacious backyard. Built by Matilda Spann in 1911 as the very first home on what was then Iola Place, this original Montford cottage began the story of a quiet lane where only one ad ditional residence would later be built on land she carved from the property. Today, the home remains a rare piece of Asheville history while offering modern comfort and exceptional future potential. Inside, the home features original bay windows overlooking Montford Park, original hardwood floors, two bedrooms, one bath, a gracious dining room, and a welcoming living room filled with natural light. The former sleeping porch has been thoughtfully converted into a bright sunroom, creating flexible space for a home office, reading room, or den. A generous covered front porch overlooking Montford Park provides the perfect setting to enjoy the park’s pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, paved walking paths, and rolling hills. A covered rear porch extends the living space outdoors, while the unfinished basement offers excellent dry storage and the original garage area provides convenient space for bicycles, gardening tools, and outdoor equipment. Recent improvements include new central air conditioning, a gas furnace, new roof decking, new gutters, and a new roof with 50-year architectural shingles, allowing the home’s historic character to be enjoyed with modern comfort. Rarely does an original Montford cottage offer both rich architectural history and a subdividable lot in such a coveted location. Enjoy an exceptional walkable lifestyle just minutes from downtown Asheville, the Reed Creek Greenway, neighborhood restaurants, and a local market. This extraordinary home is ready to begin its next chapter with its next fortunate steward.
