4 Bedrooms | 3.5 Baths | Bonus Rooms | 3052 SQFT | 1.27 Acres

Kelly and I are excited to bring to the market this dramatic, mid-century home with cool architectural lines. Banded by rows of glass the home is light, bright and flowing with natural wood ceilings throughout and appears to be a vintage Deck House. The master is on the main level with a spa bath layout. Lower level has a living space with fireplace, 2 bedrooms plus two bonus rooms currently used as workshops. The home offers someone an opportunity to further modernize to taste. While the home is nestled in light trees it is easily edited for year round mountain views.

Want to see more? Take the tour here. Or give us a call. Cheers!

A Round House from the Sixties | Thanks for our community members for sending us this fun little video. It truly captures the heart of those who live and breathe the nuances of a unique, mid-century home. Most people would assume that a dream home in the 1960s and a dream home today would be quite different. But, for Desiree Meyers and Julien Goldklang their dream home is a 1967 time capsule.

The 1,250 square foot Nolan House just happens to be round with a quirky zig zag roof! The designer of the house, Leon Meyer, produced many buildings, but only a handful of his round homes are still standing, and this may be the most well-preserved. Filled with vintage and mid-century furniture, the couple has gone the extra mile to make sure that the decor is spot-on 1967 authentic. Picking only the most iconic and well-made pieces (since they are furniture dealers) the home reads like a catalog of the best of the 60s. A veritable time capsule, the owners say the house “is kind of like stepping back into time.”

I happened to be showing a property to one of our clients yesterday when I found myself in front of this beauty in the Grovewood Park neighborhood of Asheville. It is one of our team's favorites, but I don't often get to drive by it. NC Modernist Homes confirms it is a Bert King designed home. It is a few blocks away from Bert's own 1950's home on Country Club drive. Tax records show this one was built in 1954 for Ray and Francella Poston. The home is approximately 1958 sqft with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with a rare flat roof. The home's original landscape was designed by Doan Ogden.

Cheers!

Brickstack + Bellwhether = Asheville-styled Modern Ranch Recently, I was able to connect with Scott Huebner of Brickstack A + D . Scott was brought in by Bellwether Builders to pull together the design vision for this ranch home expansion in the Grove Park Inn neighborhood of North Asheville. During the time of construction it was right around the corner from me so I was able to watch the progression and get occasional tours from Brad Rice of Bellwhether builders. The progressive owner's looked to Scott to guide the home back to its more modern roots. Through discovery it was found the house had been remodeled at least twice, disguising some of the more modern and horizontal lines remaining only in the fireplace and large picture windows on back of the house. In the process the home gained 2500 sqft of indoor and outdoor living space + garage to accommodate the client's growing family. The other criteria was that it be "fun" for their children. Overall, Scott thought the collaborative process between client and designer was synchronistic allowing for a cohesive team vision and construction.From my perspective the design is a thoughtful balance between the original mid-century atomic ranch and today's northwest modernism making use of earthy lines and materials. It seems to me a very Asheville appropriate ranch aesthetic and, overall, a successful investment given the neighborhood and view location. Great job to all involved.Yes - I'll say it again. We have well established, ranch neighborhoods here in  great locations. They are worthy of exploration for creating a modern lifestyle in Asheville. Take along a designer and work it out like Scott did.

Sale Price: $617,500Size: 3115 SQFTFeatures: 4 Beds + 3.5 Baths + View Beaverbrook is a wonderful and wandering, hillside street on top of Lakeview Park. Developed in the 50's and 60's, there are significant ranch homes, a few seriously atomic, that offer simple living in a great location provided you have the right vision. Mike Barton saw that in expertly recreating this home for himself. From a 50's ranch he carved out a clean and light filled home with great volume and comfortable flow. From my experience, it is a house that steps back, opens up and let's you live your life the way you want to. It is not just sophisticated in its styling, but in the mindful editing to do more with less. Just the way I like it.A few details I liked most: The cool front door. The sleek kitchen cabinetry with quartz countertops. Large floor to ceiling pocket doors to every room. Room expanding private patios off bedrooms for California style living.  A well lit master closet where you can both view everything at your fingertips and can host a dance party.Listing agent, Clary McCall, describes it - "Totally remodeled contemporary home in desirable Lakeview Park.

Yesterday, I took a moment, along with Kelly, to tour a favorite mid-century home in Lakeview Park during a broker hosted open house. As I have written about this sophisticated home previously, I wanted to simply offer a few quick snaps for you. The home provides a great, open backdrop for the owner's art collection. Enjoy!
