This photo caught my eye in one of the many design feeds we receive for keeping up with the latest trends at Modern Asheville Real Estate. I’m looking for the perfect cool colored tile for updating the main bath of our 50’s home. Our home is mostly floor to ceiling warm wood. Everywhere! The bath was updated in the 80’s and I’m looking to take it back to a vintage look, match the floor to ceiling finish similar to the rest of the home and counter all the warm tones with something cool. This tile seems perfect. Check it out along with many other new options in Houzz’s article here.

We are so excited for our buyer clients who closed yesterday on their dream mountain home with both mountain and French Broad River views sitting just up the street from Marshall. What an amazing place! It has been a process for them finding a magical place to call home be we did it all together. And a shout out to a helpful listing agent, too. Cheers to our clients and everyone who helped us get this done! Happiness.

Relaxed, romantic, and easy build lot tucked gently into the woods of Reynolds Mountain in North Asheville. This lot is adjacent to a 16 acre wooded conservation parcel and one-mile nature trail. Follow your gently sloped drive down into a tailored wooded setting, perfect for creating a private home {already vetted by an architect with preliminary design} surrounded by nature yet central to all that North Asheville has to offer. Reynolds Mountain is North Asheville’s premier luxury home neighborhood on its own mountain top, yet walkable to destinations like Beaver Lake and Reynolds Mountain amenities including Reynolds Village. It is only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville activities. City Water, City Sewer, Natural Gas and Electrical are all easily located for you already and underground. Ready for your beautiful retreat home nestled in the city.

Black Mountain College Museum is hosting an exhibit of Robert Raushenberg’s work. What a gift that we have this as part of our local history in the arts. The museum is open until 5pm. See below for more information. Enjoy!

And for members of the Asheville Art Museum just a reminder on a Members Only preview tonight from 4 to 7pm. Why not do both today?

In the late 70s, Bradley Jeffries had a chance meeting with Robert Rauschenberg outside his home on Captiva Island, and they bonded immediately. Bradley was hired to be the artist’s business and life manager. Her employment with him for over 30 years, until his death in 2008, involved many roles on the Board of Directors of Change, Inc and The Rauschenberg Foundation. Bradley’s travels with Rauschenberg took her on incredible adventures all over the world and exposed her to extraordinary opportunities. Throughout their friendship and work together, Rauschenberg gifted Bradley with many of his original artworks.

The family and friends of Bradley Jeffries will use her expansive and never previously exhibited Rauschenberg collection as a means of memorializing Bradley through this traveling exhibition. “Rauschenberg: A Gift in Your Pocket” opens on April 25, 2022 at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery at Florida Southwestern State College in Ft. Myers for display throughout the summer. After which her collection will travel to The University of Kentucky Art Museum followed by its culminating exhibition at BMCM+AC. 

Are mid-century and modern homes considered for preservation? Of course! In the world there are modernist homes that are over 100 years old. Locally, there are a couple of international style homes of the 20’s to the 40’s. However, anything 50 years old and having some architectural significance can be worth preserving for our community. Kelly and I could easily come up with a list of homes we would love to see protected and we have seen some Bert King designed homes be altered significantly in a style that was not fitting the architecture.

Our Preservation Society is our local resource to start. Putting a preservation easement on your home can support the provenance of your vintage home and have some tax benefits. For more information I would go directly to the source here. Don’t hesitate to give them a call. And let us know if you have interest in doing that. We would love to tell others your story and spread the word.

Another helpful resource for preserving and protecting our mid-century and modern homes is the US Modernist organization which is formerly NC Modernist Houses. Our friend George Smart has developed a community and database of modern homes and architecture. Watch this video below for a great overview of all they have to offer.

And we are here to help if needed. Some of our favorite moments in our Real Estate career have been stewarding forward some amazing homes into the hands of equally caring new buyers. Let’s discuss that! Cheers!

At least here in Asheville it is a chilly and rainy winter day. It’s the season that we spend the most time in our living rooms and we energetically want them to hug us a bit. Making them warm and cozy by bringing out throw blankets and having a burning fire nearby are just a couple of the things we like to do to comfortably get us into spring. Here are a few more ideas to bring comfort to your main living space from Atomic Ranch. Enjoy!
