What immediately stands out at 133 Highland Street is location: a cottage-style single-story home set on a deep 0.34-acre lot, literally steps from Lake Louise Park and a short walk to downtown Weaverville’s shops and community gatherings. The house—built in 1999 with durable fiber cement siding and a shingle roof—sits on rolling terrain that gives the yard a private, tucked-away feel while preserving direct frontage on Highland Street and easy driveway parking for two.
Inside, the footprint is efficient and straightforward: an open living room that flows into the kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms within roughly 1,053 square feet, tile flooring underfoot, and central HVAC for year-round comfort. The covered front porch is a genuine asset for relaxed mornings or evening gatherings, and the R-1 zoning supports single-family use with options to explore accessory dwelling possibilities or a home occupation subject to town regulations. Practical systems are in place—public water and sewer, Piedmont Natural Gas, and electric service from Duke Energy—so a renovation can focus on cosmetics or a targeted reconfiguration depending on the buyer’s vision.
This home is being offered AS-IS and requires repairs; the condition creates an attractive entry point for buyers looking to add value through renovation or for investors seeking a rental with upside. Nearby comparable sales reflect a range of outcomes based on condition: recent neighborhood closings between $428k and $522k for better-condition homes underscore the potential value if thoughtfully updated. For buyers who prioritize location over immediate perfection, this property delivers one of the market’s most walkable, amenity-rich addresses.
If you toured the property you’d notice the possibilities immediately: rework the kitchen and baths, refresh flooring, and open sight lines to take advantage of the porch and park-facing setting. With Weaverville Elementary and North Buncombe Middle nearby, plus convenient access to North Buncombe High and the greater Asheville MSA, the location supports family life, short commutes, and easy access to outdoor recreation. Schedule an inspection to assess scope and bring contractor estimates—this is a rare opportunity to secure a centrally located lot with significant upside in a changing market.
Weaverville combines small-town charm with quick access to Asheville’s cultural and outdoor amenities. Downtown Weaverville offers a compact mix of independent shops, cafés and seasonal events; Lake Louise Park and the Weaverville Community Center are minutes away for year-round recreation. The area attracts families drawn to Buncombe County Schools and buyers seeking a tighter-knit community with pedestrian-friendly streets. Proximity to Asheville makes day trips to broader dining, arts and mountain recreation easy while retaining a neighborly, village feel.
Weaverville is currently leaning toward a buyer’s market: inventory has increased to approximately 3.5 months of supply and average days on market sits near 106 days. Median sale prices for the area rest around $479,000, but results vary widely by condition and lot. Modest appreciation—about 5% in the past year and roughly 25% over five years—shows steady longer-term gains even as short-term momentum cools. Single-family cottages and smaller homes that need work typically trade with longer marketing times and deeper price concessions, while move-in-ready houses in prime pockets still command stronger pricing and faster sales.
For 133 Highland Street, recent local comps indicate that renovated nearby homes achieve substantially higher price-per-square-foot figures. Given the property’s proximity to Lake Louise Park, the community center, and downtown Weaverville, buyers who are willing to invest in repairs can capture value as the neighborhood remains desirable for families and investors. Rental demand in the immediate area supports gross rent estimates near $2,000 monthly for updated units, offering potential interim income for investors who rehab. In short: today’s market rewards buyers with capital and renovation plans, while sellers in need of certainty may face longer timelines and inspection-driven negotiation.
