On a quiet morning in 1911, a woman named Matilda Spann stood beside an empty lane called Iola Place, overlooking Montford Park, and built the first home the little street would ever know. Only one more was built on that lane and on a lot that she had carved out and sold. Long before the road became Montford Park Place, before Asheville grew into the mountain city it is today, this charming cottage quietly began its story. More than a century later, it remains one of Montford’s earliest surviving cottages and a contributing property within Asheville’s nationally recognized Montford Historic District. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its historic character, the home offers approximately 1,410 square feet, two bedrooms and one bath, with a great former sunporch, plus a large covered front porch looking over Montford Park.
