Nestled in the heart of Asheville’s Historic Montford district, The Caney Brown House (circa 1915) offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a home that is both a piece of history and a timeless treasure. This Georgian brick beauty, proudly marked by its historic plaque, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and design of a bygone era. Original woodwork, period light fixtures, and pocket doors evoke a sense of grandeur and charm when you step inside. The stunning slate roof adds to the home’s rich character, while the butler’s pantry and sunroom with tiled floors are perfect nods to the home's gracious past. With four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a layout that blends both form and function, this home has been lovingly maintained while preserving its historical integrity. Located just blocks from downtown, The Caney Brown House is an irreplaceable gem that allows you to live in history while enjoying modern comforts. A rare find in one of Asheville’s most iconic neighborhoods!
