Boasting 4,000 square feet of immaculate living space, this gorgeous 6BR/3.5BA estate occupies 0.75 beautifully landscaped acres in one of Ashevilles most distinguished communities.
Whip up delicious dishes in the elegant chefs kitchen or host cookouts on your huge tiered deck. The personal home of a professional designer, this inviting getaway also has a spacious yard, private garage, private office, and home theater.
LIVING AREA
Make yourself at home in the sunlit living room, detailed with a remote-controlled gas fireplace and a 60 smart TV. The private office offers the ideal spot to plan vacation adventures.
Stream favorite shows in the lower level TV lounge, configured with an impressive 100 smart TV and a pair of comfy recliners. The lounge includes a full-size sleeper sofa and a bar with a wine fridge.
KITCHEN & DINING
Indulge your inner chef in the spacious kitchen, featuring honed granite countertops, a 5 exhaust hood, and top-of-the-line appliances -- including a six-burner Thermador range. Sample appetizers at the kitchen bar for three or sip morning coffee at the breakfast table for four. When delicious dishes are ready, sit down to home-cooked meals in the dining room for eight.
BED & BATH
This three-story home sleeps up to 16 guests between six bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the lounge.
Comfort awaits in the tranquil master suite, appointed with a cloud-like king bed and a 60 smart TV. The sparkling en-suite bathroom holds a double vanity, a water closet, and a walk-in shower.
The large second bedroom has a king bed, the third and fourth bedrooms each have a queen bed, and the fifth bedroom has two twin-over-twin bunk beds. The adjacent guest bathroom is fitted with a tub/shower combination.
The sixth bedroom includes two twin beds, and the adjacent bathroom has a walk-in shower.
A half bath provides added convenience.
OUTDOOR AREA
Step out for fresh air on your covered back patio or sip after-dinner drinks in a rocker on the covered front porch.
Compose postcards on the screened back porch, then host a cookout on your tiered back deck -- detailed with a sleek propane grill.
