Our History
The Bunn House was built in 1905 by Albert Bunn, a brick manufacturer and contractor from Birmingham, England, who lived here with his wife, Kittie, and three children. His youngest son, Robert D. Bunn, owner of Bunn Antiques in downtown Asheville, inherited the home from his father, and lived here for many years with his wife, Fannie. When we purchased the house in 2013, much of the original structure was retained, including hardwood floors and some of the small architectural details, in order to feature the home’s rich history. We have contrasted these historic aspects with a focus on refined luxury.

We’ve taken many steps to reduce our carbon footprint and reduce use of single use plastics, including:
