A Queen Anne with Arts and Crafts flair, this turnkey guest house is located in the old “Chicken Hill” neighborhood of West Asheville. Currently serving as a guest quarters for a large local pottery maker and manufacturer, this property is ready to go as a small bed and breakfast. 

Located within walking distance of the River Arts District and just blocks to downtown Asheville, it has a prime location. The property has undergone extensive renovations over the past few years and has new plumbing, electrical, fixtures, etc. Minor modifications will need to be added to the kitchen for full breakfast service to guests. Future reservations and a relationship with the pottery manufacturer will allow a great jump start for the buyer of this property.

The home served as the parsonage for the minister of the West End Baptist Church which was located on the lot next door. (Perfect for future expansion) The church burned many years ago and the lot is cleared. However, the slate tile on the kitchen counter tops came from the roof of the burned down church and the roof has a great story. A man walked by the church while under construction (he was on a train that was delayed at the nearby depot) and visited with the minister who told him that they feared they would not have the funds to put a roof on the church. Two weeks later a check arrived in the mail from John D. Rockefeller. He noted that the funds were to be used for the finest roof available for the church – thus the slate tiled roof!
