About the host

Hosted by Laurie Brill

Host profile image
I moved to Asheville in search of a home that I could make my own. I gutted the existing home (in the historic district) all the way down to the 2 x 4's. The forty double hung windows are original--I brought them back to life. I created an open loft-like space with high ceilings and a beautiful kitchen. Original hardwood floors add to the character. The porch is like another room in the house. All new electrical, plumbing, heating/air, etc. Lots of off-street parking (which is in high demand in Montford!

Why they chose this property

Even though you are very close to downtown, the home is tucked away on a side street off of Montford and Cumberland Avenues. The neighbors on the street are fantastic, and they will make you feel right at home. Lots of walkers/runners in the neighborhood! Great restaurants within a few minutes' walking distance. Fantastic location!
