About this home

Imagine building your own Asheville home in the heart of the city, surrounded by the character and charm of an established historic neighborhood. Perched above a tree-lined street at the corner of S. French Broad Avenue and Vernell Avenue, this .14-acre level lot offers mountain views and a setting that feels distinctly Asheville. With a driveway already in place, sidewalks along the street, and a level homesite ready for your vision, much of the groundwork is already here. Design a modern mountain home, a classic cottage that complements the neighborhood, or something uniquely your own. Enjoy the energy and convenience of an in-town location just minutes from downtown Asheville, local restaurants, breweries, shopping, parks, and entertainment. Opportunities to build new in established Asheville neighborhoods are increasingly hard to find—bring your plans and create something special.
