Graceful 1915 cottage on peaceful cul-de-sac, 4 blocks to downtown civic center!

Friendly Montford neighborhood: Elizabeth Place is a warm & uniquely furnished 1 Bedroom/1.5 Bath period home on a quiet, safe street. A short stroll to exquisite eateries, shopping, Saint Lawrence Basilica, and Asheville Symphony. Well-appointed kitchen, high quality bedding, private screened back porch with garden, outdoor dining. Our ‘Elizabeth Place’ is a tranquil haven in the heart of Asheville.

The home is filled with splendid light. The entrance opens to an airy, bright living room, adjacent to a cozy bedroom. A lovely dining room and galley kitchen lead to a screened back porch & enclosed yard and grill. All rooms on one level. Everything you'll need! The home has central heat and air and a gas fireplace and off-street parking.

The street is lined with homes with attractive gardens. In true ‘Asheville’ style, there is a neighborhood vegetable garden including bee hives! We were fortunate to find this location which afforded us the opportunity to participate in activities downtown, symphony, theater, tail-gate market all within easy bike and walking distance. There is a Harris Teeter, Trader Joes and Whole Foods within 4 blocks. We enjoy wonderful restaurants nearby; French at ‘Bouchon’, Asian at ‘Gan Shan Station’, Italian at ‘Chiesa’, Jamaican at ‘9 Mile’, and our favorite Greek diner at ‘5 Points Diner’ all within walking distance. We are next to the entrance to the Reed Creek Greenway (see map in photos). This is a lovely walk or bike ride along the creek to the Botanical Gardens and to the many activities at the University of North Carolina at Asheville including the well-known Saturday morning Tail-gate market.

We love reclaiming the best of the past. This 1915 home had been lovingly cared for but not updated in many years. In the restoration, we searched many salvage yards for authentic pieces of reclaimed artifacts. The entrance handrails came from a New England church, the kitchen countertops are reclaimed soapstone and the period enamel sink was found locally. The home is furnished with family pieces from the era. Much of the artwork was done by one of the owners including the painting on the floor of the screened porch.
