46 Audubon comp

Sale Price: $325,000Size: 2,763 SqftAmenities: 4 Bed + 3 Bath + View I was just driving my design partner through this obscure North Asheville neighborhood this week to show him the few mid-century standouts - some with views. Town and Country Estates is located just across the 26 in the North Asheville and Woodfin area with convenient access to the highway. However, the neighborhood winds up its own hill and offers privacy and views from many lots. This was one of the houses we stopped to appreciate on our drive. Here is how the listing agent describes this mid-century view property - Location & views! Meticulous California tri-level with year-round views just 3 minutes from highway, but on a quiet, low traffic street. 5 minutes from grocery, restaurants & easy access to schools. Open feel with huge living room, dining with cathedral ceiling & family room with fireplace opening to deck with great hot tub. Updated kitchen with new stainless appliances & updated baths.

This home has returned to the real estate market. Cleverly designed by Darryl Rantis, it offers efficient living in Chicken Hill between downtown and the River Arts District. Here is what I had written about it in 2009 when the home was first built - "Finally, some clever and well designed "in fill" housing that is badly needed in Asheville. I took a tour of this home today. Derived from its context and both the industrial and work cottage vernacular it has developed into a smart, loft style home. These healthy built homes pack a lot in a small square footage and represent the future of what homes will become - smaller square footage, healthy built and some versatile square footage.  The basement can be a bedroom, office or in-law suite.  The details all fit - from the european style cabinetry to the pine plank flooring and some of the built in shelving you will find these homes both clean and charming."

Back Comp

Sale Price: $1,610,000Size: 3516 sqftAmenities: 4 Beds + 3.5 Baths + View Great to see that this house recently sold up at Ciel this year. Below is from a past article I had written on it in 2011. The Bower House The Bower House is in punch list phase of completion and I was fortunate enough to get a little tour yesterday from the listing agent. The 3516 sq/ft. home encompasses 4 bedrooms and 3.5 Baths and is currently listed at $1,595,000. Overall, the two things I like the most about this speculative designer home is the scale and the way it sits on the lot. Hunter Paul Coffey of Blowing Rock designed the contemporary home and is savvy to dramatic mountain settings. The house comfortably takes advantage of both the slope and the dramatic view, offering some indoor/outdoor living options including a retractable wall that slides open to allow for an additional outdoor living room with fireplace. Interior Designer, Talli Roberts, chose interior materials that warmly blended the mountain and modern aesthetic. Constructed by Cottonwood, it is a very solid, livable mountain home that blends with its mountain environment without overstating itself and wisely bucks the trend of massive living spaces. I think it’s a high-quality home for this moment that will only get better with age and patina.

Pereguine Comp

Sale Price: $340,000Size: 1710 sqftFeatures: 3 Beds + 2 Baths I was happy to find that this compact and clever infill house had recently sold. My past clients and I have been a big fan of David Way's Pereguine urban prototype home and have been watching its evolution over the years. After touring I thought that this one was his best yet. Everything was thoughtfully refined including the scale, space planning, material choices, cool construction details such as the industrial guttering, and the great rear outdoor living space. It felt complete and...well...just really sexy. Here is how the listing agent had described it. "You have heard it before but....this is a true must see. It will hook you the moment you open the door. Cypress/tile exterior, hardwood, porcelain and ceramic interior. From the porcelain surround fireplace with hearth bench to the white quartz counters and exquisite cabinetry this home will surely hook the discerning buyer. Tremendous lighting, state of the art appliances,upscale faucets, spa like master suite. Come take a look at this jewel."For more on David's designs visit The Roost Store.

11 Beaverbrook Comp

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. This 4/3.5 has a huge master bedroom suite and closet. Tons of updates to include all new Bosch chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, luxury baths, designer paints, hardwoods, porcelain tiles, etc. Other updates include total electrical, plumbing, roof, gutters, HVAC and more. Gas fireplace in living room. Great downstairs inlaw suite or office. Nice downtown views." For a more complete visual tour click here. I couldn't end without reminding you that simple and modern style living in Asheville can be accomplished by starting with one of our many ranch homes. There is an abundance in wonderful neighborhoods such as Lakeview Park waiting to fulfill their more modernist destiny with thoughtful design guidance.
