allow me to reintroduce myself: with a new roof, updated electric, and the same rare architectural pedigree that first made it a montford gem, the jackson-peyton house — known to many as abbington green — is worth a fresh look. zoned rm8. designed by renowned architect richard sharp smith (original plans available upon request), this property has shed its knob-and-tube wiring for modern peace of mind while keeping every bit of its historic character.
this remarkable property includes both the main residence and a charming carriage house (multi-generational living, anyone), surrounded by meticulously landscaped english gardens. enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting with mountain views from the classic southern front porch, just a short walk to vibrant downtown asheville.
thoughtfully renovated to offer modern amenities alongside its historic character, the property currently operates as a top-rated bed and breakfast — a turnkey opportunity for the right buyer, or a singular historic residence for someone drawn to its architectural pedigree. this extraordinary property is ready to welcome its next steward.
