Montford Asheville NC Homes for Sale

11 Beds ⋅ 12 Baths ⋅ 4280409 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status

Allow me to reintroduce myself: with a new roof, updated electric, and the same rare architectural pedigree that first made it a Montford gem, the Jackson-Peyton House — known to many as Abbington Green — is worth a fresh look. Zoned RM8. Designed by renowned architect Richard Sharp Smith (original plans available upon request), this property has shed its knob-and-tube wiring for modern peace of mind while keeping every bit of its historic character. This remarkable property includes both the main residence and a charming carriage house (multi-generational living, anyone?), surrounded by meticulously landscaped English gardens. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting with mountain views from the classic Southern front porch, just a short walk to vibrant downtown Asheville. Thoughtfully renovated to offer modern amenities alongside its historic character, the property currently operates as a top-rated bed and breakfast — a turnkey opportunity for the right buyer, or a singular historic residence for someone drawn to its architectural pedigree. This extraordinary property is ready to welcome its next steward.

Tucked away on a quiet side street in the heart of Montford, this classic 1927 American Foursquare sits gently above the street, shaped by generations of thoughtful stewardship. Just blocks from downtown Asheville, it offers privacy, generous proportions, an adaptable floor plan, and gardens that reveal themselves gradually rather than all at once. Major investments have already been made, including a standing-seam metal roof, solar panels, and a new HVAC system, allowing the home's enduring character to be paired with meaningful modern improvements. With nearly 2,550 square feet, classic architecture, and remarkably spacious rooms, it provides both comfort today and flexibility for what comes next. Four generously sized bedrooms occupy the upper level, while a main-level flex room can serve as a guest room, office, den, or creative workspace. Many of the upstairs bedrooms include walk-in closets and adjoining flex spaces that lend themselves to home offices, dressing rooms, reading nooks, or whatever life requires. A private balcony off the upper hall offers another quiet place to step outside and enjoy the setting. Outside, the property continues to unfold. A 325-square-foot screened porch overlooks mature gardens and a private, fenced backyard. Peek-a-boo mountain views emerge through the summer canopy, expanding into broader seasonal vistas in winter. A powered and cooled detached studio provides an inspiring place for art, music, work, or retreat, while a Japanese-style cedar soaking tub creates another unexpected destination within the garden. The street-to-street lot includes shared driveway access to the rear, offering the opportunity to explore additional off-street parking. The character of this home isn't found in any single room. It lives in the architecture, the gardens, the quiet moments between spaces, and the care invested over nearly a century. Now, it is ready for its next chapter.
