76 Houston St

Montford: Welcoming and bright 1921 craftsman (unfurnished): this home has so much charm and history, with just the right amount of upgrades and updates to make it even cozier and more energy efficient. It has high 9 foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, lots of windows (double exposure in nearly every room) and is bathed in natural light. It has two spacious porches-- a classic rocking front porch and a more private side porch off the primary bedroom-- the perfect spot for a cup of coffee and a good book. You'll find a porcelain farmhouse sink in the kitchen and honed granite countertops. The windows, roof, and HVAC systems have all been updated to eliminate the draft and high heating and cooling bills typical of older Montford homes. This home is convenient to so much of the best of Asheville-- walk downtown to Malaprop's or the library, or to one of Montford's many parks or restaurants. Head up Houston Street to walk over to Reed Creek Greenway and the Botanical Gardens, or head down Houston Street to walk to the French Broad River Greenway. The owners of the house have lived in Montford for 26 years and can attest that the neighbors are some of the best people you'll meet. Will consider a dog for additional pet rent.
