Tucked into the historic Gracelyn neighborhood on a quiet dead-end street, just one mile from the Grove Park Inn, mere minutes from the heart of Downtown Asheville, and right around the corner from the many amenities of North Asheville. 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 newly landscaped, including two herringbone brick paver patios. 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, plus extra storage space in the one-car detached garage. 17 Melrose is quintessential North Asheville: the perfect blend of historic character, yet meticulously maintained with recent upgrades for modern convenience and everyday peace of mind.
