Timeless mountain architecture meets exceptional craftsmanship in this one-of-a-kind retreat, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed for elegant living and effortless entertaining. Soaring ceilings, 10-foot doors, shiplap accents, expansive windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace on the screened porch or enjoy custom finishes throughout, including hickory porch ceilings milled from the property, locust decking, a black walnut kitchen island, reclaimed Lucky Strike Factory stair treads, and solid oak tongue-and-groove flooring. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, complemented by a beautifully finished 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and a private exercise studio, providing remarkable flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or extended stays. A studio apartment and large workroom/office and workshop finish off the detached garage. For those seeking additional opportunity, this property also offers outstanding investment potential. The three existing living spaces create multiple rental possibilities, while the acreage provides room for future expansion, including the potential for an additional cabin or conversion of the detached garage into another studio or income-producing space (buyer to verify). Whether you're searching for a luxury mountain home, a private family compound, or a property with exceptional income potential, this is a rare opportunity just minutes from both Asheville and Black Mountain.

MOTIVATED SELLER!! Rare opportunity to own a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath mid-cent gem on Alexander Avenue in Grovemont-on-Swannanoa — part of one of America's first planned communities, developed by E.W. Grove beginning in 1924. This architectural treasure sits on a desirable corner lot and strikes the perfect balance between authentic mid-cent character and modern updates, featuring a refreshed kitchen and baths while preserving the original design integrity that makes these homes so sought after. Practical updates are already done — roof replaced in 2018, a brand new privacy fence, an extensively updated electrical system, and a newly encapsulated crawl space — making this one truly move-in ready. A home inspection has been completed with identified repair items already addressed, offering buyers added peace of mind. The seller is motivated and is offering $5,000 toward closing costs, making stepping into this piece of history more attainable than ever. The historic Grovemont neighborhood offers a walkable lifestyle with the beloved Grovemont farmers market, library, and live music all within easy reach. And the neighborhood is only getting better. Beacon Park — a transformative new development on the site of the former Beacon Blanket Factory — is set to open just minutes away in 2026, bringing a world-class bike park, bouldering walls, a one-mile walking loop, playground, and a 4,000-person event lawn to Swannanoa. New local businesses including Short Sleeve Coffee and Ovenbird Kitchen are already open, with more on the way. This area is experiencing a genuine renaissance. When you're ready to venture further, Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountain, and downtown Asheville are all just minutes away. A coveted corner lot, a storied address, and a piece of American architectural history — all in one.
