51 Mildred Avenue

Welcome to one of West Asheville’s gems, a bright and soulful Craftsman cottage just steps off Haywood Road, surrounded by the food, music, and community that make this neighborhood one of the most loved in Asheville. With just over one thousand square feet, this two bedroom one bath home feels warm, thoughtful, and full of character from the moment you walk in. The original hardwoods set the tone, and the renovated kitchen pays homage to the home’s early twentieth century roots while giving you the modern function you want. The bathroom is a standout with its original built in cabinetry, a rare detail that instantly sets this home apart. Light pours into every room thanks to the coveted south facing exposure, and the home glows all day long. There is also a gas burning fireplace that keeps the space cozy at night. And then there is the porch. The large covered front porch, complete with built in benches, is an absolute vibe. It is perfect for early morning coffee runs to Rowans or Odds, weekend plant collecting, or settling in with friends for an evening hang. The fully fenced front and back yards are surprisingly large for West Asheville and give you room to dream. Garden beds, fire pit nights, outdoor movie setups, backyard parties, pets running free, it is all possible here. The driveway and front parking pad are rare in this area and make life so much easier. Out back, a large detached garage offers extra storage, hobby space, or workshop potential. A fully encapsulated crawlspace provides even more flexibility. Living here means you are a quick walk to everything. Botiwalla for lunch, Nine Mile for dinner, The Hop for dessert. Craggy Garden Park is right down the street with a wooded trail that makes you feel like you have stepped into the mountains without ever leaving the neighborhood. Recent improvements to major systems, including new central air, a new gas furnace, a new hot water heater, and an added dehumidifier, mean you can move in without a list of fixes or upgrades. This home has been cared for and loved, and it is ready for someone to enjoy its charm, its convenience, and its quintessential West Asheville spirit. Schedule your showing today. This one is special.
