3 Woodlawn Avenue

Showings Start Thursday 7/23 - Tucked away on a quiet side street in the heart of Montford, this 1927 American Foursquare is elevated above the street and shaped by generations of thoughtful, creative owners. Just blocks from downtown Asheville, it offers privacy, generous rooms, an adaptable floor plan, a screened porch overlooking the gardens, and outdoor spaces that reveal themselves gradually. Major investments have already been made, including a standing-seam metal roof, solar panels, and a new HVAC system. Classic architecture, generous proportions, and nearly 2,550 square feet provide a strong foundation for what comes next. Four generously sized bedrooms are located upstairs, while a main-level room could serve as guest space, home office, den, creative workspace, or potential additional bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms are especially distinctive, with wall-mounted sconces, walk-in closets, and adjoining bonus spaces suited to offices, dressing rooms, reading nooks, or other uses. A private balcony off the upstairs hall adds another quiet place to step outside and take in the setting. Beyond the interior, the property continues to unfold. A 325-square-foot screened porch serves as an outdoor living room overlooking a private backyard with mature plantings and a full privacy fence. Peek-a-boo mountain views emerge through the summer foliage, opening to broader seasonal views in winter. A powered and cooled studio with its own deck creates space for art, work, music, or quiet escape, while a large Japanese-style cedar soaking tub adds another distinctive element to the garden. The street-to-street lot includes shared driveway access to the rear, with potential to explore additional off-street parking. The character is already here—in the architecture, the gardens, the unexpected spaces, and the imprint of those who have loved the house before. Now it is ready for new owners to add their own creative layer to its story.
