3 Manila Street

Close enough to the heart of West Asheville to be convenient yet tucked away in a quiet, engaged community, this charming, and very sturdy, 1925 bungalow blends historic character with thoughtful updates and a serene natural setting. Originally a single-story home, it was expanded in the 1950s to include a third bedroom on a split level and a finished lower-level family or studio space, offering flexibility for modern living. Inside, heart-pine floors add warmth and authenticity throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, while tile flooring enhances the kitchen, bathrooms, and lower level. Morning light fills the living room, and ceiling fans in the living room and primary bedroom add comfort. The upstairs bath features a spacious walk-in shower. Major appliances and HVAC are approximately five years old, and energy efficiency is boosted by 17 solar panels from Sugar Hollow Solar, generating most of the home’s electricity.Just outside the classic front porch is a certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat, that supports abundant birds and wildlife. Buttermilk Creek winds along the back, creating a peaceful natural boundary. This home is close to the scenic trails of Hominy Creek Greenway and the vibrant shops, restaurants, and breweries that make West Asheville so beloved. Take a tour today, you are sure to fall in love.
