176 S French Broad Avenue

Classic American Foursquare home with character intact, one of a line of beautiful historic homes along South French Broad Avenue overlooking downtown Asheville and the South Slope from their rear decks and sleeping porches. On the main level, spacious rooms are divided by elegant pocket doors in a layout typical of the style, allowing for cross-ventilation and abundant natural light. The split staircase, like the pocket doors and baseboards, are unpainted and show off the woodwork. An open rear deck off the kitchen covered by a sleeping porch with a wall of windows on the 2nd floor overlook the deep back yard. The unfinished daylight basement has a pump installed in anticipation of possibly finishing the space into a basement apartment, with plenty of room to build a nice deck. New HVAC, roof, gutters, appliances, and no need to undo past renovations. Possibly a kit home delivered to the old depot in the River Arts District nearby, this timeless beauty is a great investment.
