Renewed Space 2 – Burton Street Bungalow

Partial Home Rehibilitation • Project Cost: CUSTOM

In 2023, the Asheville-Buncombe Community Land Trust (ABCLT) purchased this home on Fayetteville Street in the Burton Street neighborhood, where entrepreneur Edward Walton Pearson developed a thriving African-American community before the destruction caused by urban renewal. Built in 1927, it is one of the oldest homes in the neighborhood. ABCLT addressed structural issues, replaced the roofing, rebuilt the rear porch, updated the kitchen, and painted the interior of the home. The rehabilitation unearthed the history of the Burton Street community, including a neighborhood barber shop. The rehabilitation of the property was completed in 2025 and ABCLT will sell this home below $200,000 – less than half of market value. Through a partnership with PSABC, this home will be permanently affordable!
