"Possum Too" an Albemarle Park home located on the western slope of Sunset Mountain, now a rare opportunity to own one of 42 original primary structures built in the early 20th century. Three Titans of industry in the late 19th century collaborated to develop a "resort park" development. These three prominent men developed Albemarle Park as a landmark in residential design and it is a highly sought after area today, with the feeling that you have been transported to another time, as if you are far outside the city limits. Recognized to be of national significance and a local historic district, 158 Cherokee referred to as "Possum Too" is a short 15 minute walk to Downtown Asheville, on over one quarter acre, backing up to undeveloped land. Bear sightings common, so mind your wildlife when you are looking in the woods behind the back deck and along the road as you stroll. Originally the carriage house to the "Possum Trot" homestead, 158 Cherokee is referred to locally as "Possum Too".
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
