About this home
If you’ve been waiting for a chance to own a true piece of local history, this property is calling your name. As one of the oldest homes in Falconhurst, this spacious two-story stucco classic is ready for a new owner. For context, the historic Falconhurst Neighborhood traces its roots all the way back to 1897, when it was established as an experimental farm by Rutherford Platt Hayes—the son of U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes! This home delivers a rare 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom footprint that you just don’t see every day in West Asheville. It’s an older home bursting with authentic vintage character, featuring a great fenced front yard for your pups or a future garden, and it is ready for your updates. Bring your design ideas, renovation team, and appreciation for historic bones to transform this home. The location gives you the best of both worlds; a quiet, historic neighborhood feel while being just minutes away from vibrant breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants along Haywood Road and 10 minutes to downtown Asheville.
