Tucked into the charming Gracelynn neighborhood on a quiet dead-end street, yet mere minutes from the heart of Downtown Asheville and all the amenities of the Merrimon Avenue and Charlotte Street corridors. Mature trees, established landscaping, and a raised garden bed welcome you to this classic North Asheville historic home, drenched in vintage charm! The wraparound covered side and back porches invite you to slow down on cool mountain mornings, and to stay dry while enjoying summer rainstorms. The spacious, impressively flat backyard is fenced-in and features two brick paver patios, ideal for entertaining. Inside, tall ceilings and first-class historic molding showcase 1920s millwork at it’s finest. Antique 15-lite French doors frame the fireplace, and hardwood floors run throughout. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet space. Central air was added by the current owners in 2024. A spacious unfinished basement (with laundry) provides tons of future potential. 17 Melrose is quintessential North Asheville: the perfect blend of historic character and everyday convenience.
