176 S French Broad Avenue Classic American Foursquare home with character intact, one of a line of beautiful historic homes along S. French Broad Avenue overlooking downtown Asheville and the South Slope from their rear decks and sleeping porches. On the main level, spacious rooms are divided by huge pocket doors in a layout typical of the style, allowing for cross-ventilation and abundant natural light. The split staircase, like the pocket doors and baseboards, are unpainted and show off the woodwork. An open rear deck off the kitchen covered by a heated sleeping porch on the 2nd floor overlook the deep back yard. The unfinished daylight basement has a pump installed in anticipation of finishing the space, which has great potential. Newer HVAC, roof, gutters, appliances, and electric service to the home has been upgraded. Most all of the original windows have been restored. A short walk to the YWCA, Asheville Middle School, and the south slope / downtown, this timeless beauty with character intact, good bones, and a deep backyard is a great investment.
