Property Description
**Prime West Asheville Location + Income & Development Potential!** Welcome to 119 Fairfax, ideally located just off Haywood Road in the heart of **West Asheville and just minutes from Downtown Asheville**. This classic early-1900s duplex sits on an **oversized RM-8 zoned lot**, offering a rare combination of location, rental income potential, renovation opportunity, and future development possibilities. The existing duplex offers two potential income-producing units. The upper level features a spacious **3-bedroom, 1-bath layout ready for remodeling**, while the lower-level **1-bedroom, 1-bath unit has been recently renovated** and is move-in ready, with a recent lease at **$1,250/month**per apartment. There are multiple ways to envision this property. **Update and renovate the existing duplex**, creating an attractive income-producing property in one of Asheville's most desirable areas—or explore the potential to **redevelop the property entirely**, taking advantage of the large lot and RM-8 zoning. Depending on applicable zoning requirements, site conditions, access, setbacks, parking, and City approvals, the property may offer potential for **additional residential development or more than one structure**. For an investor, the existing duplex provides an opportunity to generate rental income while evaluating future options. For a developer, the **oversized RM-8 lot in such a close-in West Asheville location** presents an opportunity worth exploring. Enjoy being just minutes from **Haywood Road, West Asheville's restaurants, breweries, shops, and entertainment, as well as Downtown Asheville**. Properties offering this combination of location, lot size, existing income potential, and development possibilities are increasingly difficult to find. **Renovate it. Reimagine it. Redevelop it. The possibilities at 119 Fairfax are worth exploring.** Buyers should independently verify all zoning, density, development, access, parking, and building possibilities with the City of Asheville.
