Just minutes from downtown Asheville, UNC Asheville, neighborhood restaurants, shopping, greenways, and the Botanical Gardens, this distinctive home offers timeless character with the convenience of in-town living. Original wood floors, tall windows, and six nonfunctional coal-burning fireplaces with distinctive stone, brick, tile, and antique mantel surrounds highlight the home's historic craftsmanship. Spacious living and dining rooms provide inviting gathering spaces, while the updated kitchen blends exposed brick and historic details with newer cabinetry, open shelving, and modern functionality. Expansive wraparound porches, a screened porch, and a large rear deck overlooking wooded surroundings create wonderful outdoor living spaces.

The lower level offers an exterior-access guest suite previously used as additional living or short-term rental space. This conversion was completed by a prior owner without permits. The original carriage house with attached greenhouse conveys as-is and offers possibilities for a workshop, studio, or gardening space. With easy access to Reed Creek and Glenn's Creek Greenways, UNC Asheville, the Botanical Gardens, and downtown Asheville, 16 West Street combines historic character, an unbeatable location, and an opportunity to ease into homeownership with reduced mortgage payments during the first two years!
