Step inside a 1929 treasure where craftsmanship meets modern luxury. Gracious and timeless, this Colonial Revival residence enhanced with Arts & Crafts detailing is set on a large, level lot tucked privately in South Asheville. The location offers privacy, yet is convenient to Asheville Regional Airport, Biltmore Park, premier schools, fine dining, and shopping.
Thoughtfully renovated with refined taste while preserving its 1920s character and charm, the result is an elegant yet welcoming home, grounded in history but beautifully updated for modern living. It features five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, including separate guest quarters above the detached garage/workshop and adjacent carport.
Inside, you’ll find original wavy glass windows, reclaimed hardwood floors, and a chef’s kitchen showcasing Viking, Bosch, and Dacor appliances, concrete countertops, and fine cabinetry crafted from South-African hardwoods. Every detail reflects intentional craftsmanship and enduring style.
Outdoors, multiple living areas invite both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. Enjoy an expansive lawn framed by lush gardens, a stately front porch of Ipe wood, and custom ironwork gates leading to an enchanted alfresco dining area. An extensive private back patio offers the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining amid a serene, park-like backdrop.
With county-only taxes and no short-term rental restrictions, this South Asheville estate offers an exceptional opportunity as a primary residence or luxury investment property. A 1929 treasure reborn—where privacy, history, and craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony.
