173 Houston Place Montford Modern Gem! Fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed, this newly built mountain modern home blends clean architecture with warm, natural materials. Corten steel and cypress siding create a striking, low-maintenance exterior, while inside, light-filled spaces and an open floor plan offer a bright and comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining. Designer tile, custom cabinetry, elevated fixtures, and a cozy wood stove add warmth and character throughout the home, balancing modern simplicity with thoughtful detail. The layout includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a dedicated upper-level flex or office space, providing versatility for work-from-home needs, a reading nook, or additional lounge space. The fully finished daylight basement features a private entrance, a wet bar, and a second washer and dryer, making it well-suited for multigenerational living, a guest suite, a creative studio, a recreation space, or potential short-term rental use (buyer to confirm). Located in the heart of Montford-one of Asheville's most desirable neighborhoods-the home is just minutes from downtown, the River Arts District, local galleries, restaurants, breweries, and shopping, while still offering a quiet residential feel tucked away from the energy of the city. Next door, 171 Houston Place (MLS #4335456) is also available. Both homes were designed by All Clear Design and built by Green Light Custom Homebuilders, presenting a rare opportunity to purchase side-by-side new construction with matching quality and design. Custom-level craftsmanship-without the custom process.
