3 Bedrooms
2½ BathsProperty Description
17 Ora Street is the kind of Asheville home people picture when they dream about living here — full of charm, character, mountain views, and neighbors who actually know each other — but without the stress and upkeep that usually comes with a historic home. Originally built in 1909, this home has been completely renovated with all new systems, giving it the feel and function of a newer home wrapped in timeless Asheville character. Inside, the home feels bright, fresh, and polished, with beautifully refinished heart pine floors so shiny you’ll catch yourself wondering if they’re still wet. Historic trim and thoughtful details preserve the soul of the home, while major upgrades provide comfort and efficiency, including a high-efficiency gas furnace and an instant gas-fired water heater with a recirculation pump. Outside, the property feels like a small urban homestead tucked into the heart of Asheville, with fruit trees, an organic garden, a chicken coop, monarch butterflies, sunset views, and year-round mountain views. The setting feels surprisingly peaceful and private for being just minutes from downtown, and the neighborhood is the kind of place where people genuinely know and enjoy their neighbors. The location is one of the biggest highlights here. In just minutes, you can be in the River Arts District, downtown Asheville, or at Mission Hospital. Walk to HighWire Brewing, spend afternoons exploring galleries and restaurants in the River Arts District, or be downtown in about four minutes. It’s incredibly central while still feeling tucked into a neighborhood with personality and soul. This is the rare combination of historic Asheville charm, modern peace of mind, and an unbeatable location close to everything people love about living in Asheville.
