Modern Innovation Meets Native Beauty in the Heart of Historic Montford. Welcome to 30 Gray Street, where the timeless charm of Montford’s architecture meets the thoughtful innovation of sustainable, artful living just steps from Asheville favorites like Tall John’s, All Day Darling, and the vibrant downtown arts scene. Inside, high ceilings and natural light illuminate a three-story layout that feels both expansive and grounded. A coordinated, designer-selected paint palette brings warmth and cohesion throughout, creating a calm, welcoming canvas for your personal style. The craftsmanship and upgrades here are exceptional. UV-protected, tinted sliding windows, a Pelican whole-house water filtration system, solar panels paired with a standing-seam metal roof, dimmer switches, built in bookshelf, top down bottom up intercellular blinds, built-in seating with storage in the eat-in kitchen. Two variable-speed eco-conscious HVAC units deliver exceptional comfort and reliability. Below, a basement utility room offers clean, functional storage with a sink, lighting, and easy access to the home’s mechanical systems. The crawl space houses the air handlers, a dehumidifier, and a drain system for protection in heavy weather. Step outside, and you’ll discover a backyard sanctuary that has been leveled and hardscaped, complete with a handcrafted stone fire pit the perfect gathering place for cool Asheville evenings under the stars. What truly sets this home apart is its connection to nature and place. The owner’s pollinator garden, lovingly cultivated for nearly a decade, showcases a thriving collection of native species; butterfly weed, swamp milkweed, elderberry, Annabelle hydrangea, dogwood, and a Winter King hawthorn. Designed to sustain the bees, butterflies, and wildlife that make life possible. Blooms unfold from spring through autumn, transforming the landscape into a living work of art that also prevents erosion and enriches the soil. From the third floor, enjoy seasonal mountain views and glimpses of historic Riverside Cemetery, the resting place of literary legends Thomas Wolfe and O. Henry. A nearby walking path via Birch Street leads directly into the cemetery’s paved lanes, perfect for peaceful morning strolls through Asheville’s history. Every element of 30 Gray Street has been curated with care blending heritage with innovation, craftsmanship with conscience, and nature with neighborhood connection. This isn’t just a home. It’s a love letter to Montford, rooted in sustainability, creativity, and the art of living beautifully.
