Built in 1872, this great historic home is one of the oldest brick homes in Madison County and is crafted from hand-formed bricks. As you look along the wall, fingerprints of the craftsmen are visible! The vernacular architecture is enhanced by wrap-around porches and a full wood-framed section. Boasting three bedrooms (one without a closet due to the age of the structure), and one a half baths, the home has been masterfully updated with stainless appliances, a jet-tub, and more; yet the original unique character of the home is retained through beadboard, original built-ins, and lovely hardwood floors. From the covered porch, soak in your five acres of pasture, stream, and forest. Enjoy the babbling of the brook while watching your horses, cows, or goats graze in the pasture. Surrounded by undeveloped land, the home and acreage feels universes away from the hub-bub, yet is only 40 minutes to downtown Asheville. Perfect for the history buff, small-scale farmer, sheep or goat farmer (more pasture is available for lease), or nature lover!
