Hi Folks! Along with homes Kelly and I have listed publicly on the MLS we have “pocket” listings. In other words, specialty homes that are for sale, but are kept privately in our back pocket per the owner. We will be getting a few more over the winter months prior to spring. If you have interest in being on a list of potential buyers please email us at hello@modernasheville.com.

We can send you our Buyer Questionnaire and forward you any information that would be appropriate as we get it. Cheers! Kelly and Troy

We reduced the price on this cool, vintage home just in time for the holidays. The artistic, split-entry, ranch home is located in a popular Beaver Lake mid-century neighborhood of North Asheville. The home’s rich wood floors and fresh paint set the stage for this fun 1959 retro home with well-preserved original kitchen and baths.

The versatile, finished walk-out basement could be a studio, family room or made into an apartment with outside entrance. On the exterior the home has lush, artistic gardens full of interesting plantings and garden art that transition throughout the seasons.

Want to see more? Enjoy the tour here. Give Kelly and Troy a call if you have any questions. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Kelly and I have many anniversaries around our business and like to have options for positive celebration {Cocktails} thru the year. However, today marks our 3 Years of being with Keller Williams Professionals. {Yeah} Why is that important other than being a great partner for furthering our business, keeping us educated and providing a great network of helpful peers? At the 3 year mark we are fully vested in Keller Williams which means we are vested and will receive monthly profit-sharing for life. {Sweet} It is profit-sharing that sometimes pays for our overhead and gets us through the ebbs and flows of our industry. Thank you Keller Williams for being such a great partner.

If you want to know more about the benefits of KW give us a call. We would love to share our success with others. Cheers!

Why Modernism Came Back | I’ll keep my part short and sweet this morning having read through this reflective article on Modernism. I thought there were some interesting points that showcase its place in our built environment both from the past and for today. 

“Not all of the original credos of Modernism have stuck around, but Modernism still retains an outsized currency in the design world. For this story I asked 10 architects across the country to weigh in on its legacy. Some felt threatened by what they saw as Modernism’s continuing and outdated influence. Others simply rejected it. Still others determined that by embracing it, their own work was more disciplined and forward-thinking.”

Good Morning Folks! I’m traveling for the holiday so I’m taking the opportunity to share this post from two years past which remains relevant today especially given potential zoning changes in our neighborhoods. Enjoy and have a great Sunday. Cheers!

Promiscuous Hybrids | I’m kicking off a new series of posts inspired by the new construction in Asheville. Being both a designer and realtor I’m hyper-conscious of the changes occurring with our built environment. Kelly, myself and our chosen families witness discussions by both designers and citizens regarding the new hotels, apartments and commercial structures that are stamped out and replicated here along with other cities. What do these new constructions say about Asheville that is different than…say…Charlotte, Milwaukee or Tampa?

We have a unique past, including architecture, that is part of our cultural fabric and economic draw to the area. Furthermore, we are here because Asheville is incredibly rich in geography, history, spirituality, creative talent, environmental consciousness and an independent desire to do things differently and want a different life. Change is a given. I welcome the business and what it affords both my intimate circle and the community I love. However, I find myself wondering what our buildings could be doing that help steward our town into its own unique future inspired by what is here and the vision of our local talent? What life, culture, brand and future do WE want for ourselves decades from now?

Yes, I’m a bit of a dreamer and I don’t know all the complexities {yet} that create these results. However, for me and others, Asheville has the resources to lead the way for something new. I simply ask the questions — are we missing an opportunity? Could we do things differently and what would that look like? For the moment, I leave you with this video as an opportunity to step outside the box we know and offer a different vision of architecture within a particular community. Please enjoy! Troy

At our Modern Mixer this past Saturday I was asked if I could find this post from the past. So, without anything further…here you go. Have a wonderful holiday week.

Designing Our Future | How to Make and Attractive City | I came across this video this morning and wanted to share it. While it makes some good points I don’t necessarily agree with everything Alain says here. I appreciate the overall thinking and would love for us to follow a more European model with our urban growth.

His sixth point does hit home to me as we watch most of our newest construction coming from outside influences bringing corporate brands to Asheville blurring our unique identity. My question for us as a community is how can we accommodate this important growth while constructing buildings that are filtered by the values of Asheville itself? What is important to us? How do we maintain our own sense of place that has attracted us all to live and travel here? Think about it. Cheers! Troy
