Less than a mile from downtown, this rare duplex-style home combines modern living with exceptional flexibility in Asheville’s historic Montford district. Built just 12 years ago, it offers the peace of mind of newer construction, an appealing alternative to many neighboring homes approaching a century in age. The main residence (1,608 SF) features an open-concept layout, vaulted front porch, and a chef’s kitchen with an island and breakfast bar. The main-level suite includes a tiled walk-in shower, while the upper level offers two spacious bedrooms with soaring ceilings, oversized closets, and a shared full bath with double vanity. The attached apartment (647 SF) has its own private entrance and functions as a true second residence; ideal for rental income, guest accommodations, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office. This income potential creates a valuable opportunity to offset ownership costs while still enjoying a modern home in a prime location. Outdoor living spaces with multiple private sitting areas, garden pathways, and easy access to nearby parks and neighborhood trails. Additional highlights include LP Smart siding, energy-efficient systems, and a standing-height sealed crawlspace. A unique chance to live in a modern home with built-in income flexibility just moments from downtown.
