Showings Start Saturday! Open House Saturday 12p-2p. Step back in time"”and out into the garden"”at this character-filled early 1920s bungalow tucked just one block from Haywood Street and minutes from Asheville's River Arts District, but the real showstopper is the extraordinary edible landscape just outside the back door.
Modest in size but rich in personality, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home retains many of the details that make older Asheville homes so special: original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, high ceilings, picture rail molding, an ornamental fireplace, transom windows, and a sunny, oversized dining room. The bath continues the vintage charm with a clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, and original built-in medicine cabinet, while a thoughtful period-inspired color palette complements the home's early-20th-century roots. Off-street parking adds everyday convenience.
Outside has been lovingly transformed into a remarkable urban farmstead and edible landscape, with organic soil that has been cultivated without pesticides or chemicals. Expertly terraced garden beds maximize the usable space, with French drains incorporated throughout the terraces to help manage water and maintain healthy growing conditions. Trellises and scaffolding support climbing vines and vegetables, while an impressive collection of native plants, ornamentals, herbs, fruits, and edible plantings creates a garden that is both productive and beautiful.
Rustic patios and platforms are tucked throughout the landscape, creating places to sit, gather, garden, or simply enjoy what is growing around you. A natural dead hedge provides habitat for wildlife and contributes to the property's wonderfully organic, eco-conscious character. Garden sheds offer space for tools and supplies, while mature shade trees provide a welcome place to rest after an afternoon spent tending the gardens.
This is not a manicured suburban backyard"”it is a living, working landscape created with intention, creativity, and a genuine love of growing food and sharing it with the surrounding community. For the gardener, urban homesteader, or anyone dreaming of a little more connection to the land without leaving Asheville, this is a truly special opportunity.
Come experience your own urban farmstead in the heart of Asheville.
