SOLD | A Grove Park Classic

Congrats to our buyers on their lovely new Asheville home in Grove Park. They sold their restored 20’s home in another state to start over again on this beauty. Welcome them to Asheville! They were great to work with and we have no doubt they will make fun neighbors to have. Cheers to them!

Here is what they said about their experience, “We could not have had a better home purchase experience than that we had with Troy and Kelly of Modern Asheville Real Estate. They guided us through every step, and in the process helped us to understand the local market and various home inventory options. They truly placed our interest first and made the transaction from out of state easy and free of stress. Modern Asheville is the best! We are thrilled to recommend them!” Greg & Steve

Are Midcentury Homes a Good Investment?

Based off our combined 28 years of experience with one foot in this specialty market we feel all modern homes with a point of view have been uniquely desired. Our own personal homes reflect various aspects of midcentury design. And our often creative clients have done well with their atomic styled investments such as our client who doubled his money on the 1954 beauty below. We love helping them along the way and telling their story.

Atomic Ranch magazine has recently published and article sharing some thoughts from 3 other experts. Please find the article here.

As always, know we would love to help you buy, find resources for or sell your own midcentury modern or atomic ranch home. Cheers! Kelly and Troy

Middlemont Residence | AIA Architecture Preservation Award

Congratulations to Harding Huebner and our former clients for their joint vision in creating this award winning project. As part of our “Make Your Modern” motto we helped our clients with the purchase of this vintage church building in West Asheville and introduced them to appropriate designers which, in this case, was Harding Huebner. As design minded Realtors we like to think we get the ball rolling in the right direction. We dream of helping people come together to create heirloom homes for themselves and the legacy of our unique and special Asheville community. Cheers to you all!

And if you missed seeing this home enjoy a quick tour below.

Happy Memorial Day

We wish you and your families a happy holiday this weekend. Be safe. Have fun. And please take a moment to remember all those who have served you and serve you now to make your life what it is today. We salute you. Cheers!
