Set at the beginning of Asheville’s treasured Historic Montford neighborhood, just a short walk across the bridge from vibrant downtown Asheville, this beautifully maintained home offers the rare luxury of easy in-town living without the parking worries. Located within the intimate Blake’s Corner community of just four homes, residents enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle with shared care of the elegant paver driveway, parking areas, and landscaping, while still having the freedom to personalize the gardens surrounding their home — including small edible gardens enjoyed by some residents.
Built in 2007 with quality craftsmanship and materials, this 2,180 | 3 bedroom| 2.5 bath home blends timeless character with modern comfort and efficiency. A stunning custom-crafted front door creates an unforgettable first impression, while cedar shingle siding, a sealed crawlspace with dehumidifier, and a wonderful oversized covered front porch add warmth, durability, and inviting curb appeal. The expansive porch becomes a true extension of the living space — perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the charm of Montford living — with a convenient outdoor grilling area located just off the side of the porch for easy outdoor dining and gatherings.
Inside, the welcoming foyer sets the tone for the home and includes a convenient main-level half bath for guests. The thoughtfully designed floorplan features 9-foot ceilings on the main level, creating an open and airy feel throughout the living spaces. Upstairs, the home offers a rare dual-primary layout with two ensuite bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of the home, both featuring vaulted ceilings that add character and spaciousness. A third middle bedroom shares convenient hall access with the front suite, offering flexibility for guests, office space, or additional living needs. The upstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience, while abundant attic storage provides valuable extra space seldom found in similar homes.
The kitchen is beautifully equipped with newer appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator (2016), Samsung dishwasher (2023), gas range with electric convection oven (2022), and reverse osmosis water filtration system at the kitchen sink. Additional thoughtful features include a Tesla charger compatible with most EVs, tankless hot water heater serviced annually, wireless gas fireplace logs, and extensive first-floor upgrades completed in 2016.
Additional improvements include:
New roof less than 1 year old
Hall bathroom remodel (2019)
Closet upgrades (2019)
Well-maintained systems with manuals available for major upgrades and appliances
A true rarity in Montford, the property also includes a spacious 2-car garage — an uncommon and highly sought-after feature in the historic district.
Combining walkability, convenience, quality construction, and easy living in one of Asheville’s most iconic neighborhoods, 111 Montford Avenue presents a unique opportunity to enjoy the very best of downtown Asheville and Historic Montford living.
