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.
