About This Home

As of May 2026

Welcome to one of the most iconic and admired historic homes in downtown Brevard, built in 1917 and rich with character, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. Situated on a generous lot in the heart of authentic downtown, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brevard’s history while enjoying the walkable lifestyle that makes this area so desirable. Listed on the local historic registry, the home benefits from significant property tax savings—nearly 50%—without being overly restrictive. Contact the JPHC for more information on the advantages of this designation. From the moment you arrive, the home’s presence stands out. Classic cedar shake siding, a large covered front porch overlooking Park Ave, and mature landscaping create a setting that feels both private and established. The grounds are filled with old-growth hemlocks, dogwoods, azaleas, boxwoods, and other native plantings, offering year-round beauty and a true sense of place. Inside, the home showcases the quality and durability of early 20th-century construction, with a structure that appears to be built from hemlock, oak, and other prime lumber. Original details remain intact, including windows, a stone foundation, and a striking original stone fireplace, now equipped with gas logs. A wood-burning stove in the rear bedroom adds additional warmth and character. While the home honors its historic roots, it has also been thoughtfully updated with practical improvements for modern living. Updates include a modern HVAC system with central air, mostly updated PEX plumbing, upgraded electrical, and an encapsulated crawlspace—providing efficiency and peace of mind without compromising the home’s integrity. Step outside your door and enjoy sidewalks that connect you directly to downtown Brevard’s restaurants, parks, shops, and vibrant small-town culture. This location offers the perfect blend of convenience and charm, all within minutes of some of Western North Carolina’s most treasured outdoor destinations, including Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest. Asheville Regional Airport is also just a short drive away. This is more than just a home—it’s a legacy property in one of Brevard’s most sought-after locations. Be sure to watch the property video for a full experience of this remarkable offering.
