About This Home

197 Academy Street

Beautifully updated and truly an "old-new house," this charming brick home has been completely remodeled from top to bottom, offering the perfect blend of timeless character and modern convenience in one of Canton's most desirable locations. Just one block from Main Street, you'll enjoy easy walking access to local shops, boutiques, salons, the popular Southern Porch Restaurant, The Mail Room Wine Bar, and the growing collection of new businesses that are helping fuel The Canton Comeback as this historic mill town embraces an exciting new chapter. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 1,665 square feet of thoughtfully redesigned living space, this move-in ready home has been extensively renovated with new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, and much more, giving you the charm of a classic home with the peace of mind of modern systems. Inside, you'll love the timeless appeal of 9-foot ceilings, extra-wide hallways, and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Fresh interior paint and quality finishes throughout preserve the home's historic character while providing today's modern comforts. The spacious living room is already set up for gas logs (buyer to install propane tank), creating the perfect place to relax on cool mountain evenings. The updated kitchen offers ample workspace and comes complete with a refrigerator, electric range, oven, and dishwasher, while the functional floor plan provides comfortable one-level living. An unfinished basement offers abundant storage or the opportunity for a workshop, hobby space, or future expansion. Outside, enjoy a welcoming front porch, level yard, detached garage, concrete driveway, and beautiful mountain and city views. Connected to city water and city sewer with no HOA, this exceptional home combines small-town charm with unmatched convenience. Located just minutes from Waynesville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and countless hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities, this home is perfect as a primary residence, mountain getaway, or investment property. If you've been looking for a beautifully restored home in the heart of Canton's exciting revitalization, this one is not to be missed.
