On a gentle knoll within an intimate community of seven homes, this custom home, designed by the owners, offers a thoughtful combination of privacy, natural surroundings and convenient access to Asheville. Set on 0.57 acres and surrounded by mature trees, the residence occupies a wooded setting while remaining close to the amenities, recreation and cultural offerings of Western North Carolina. With three bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 2,041 square feet, the home is designed around comfortable main-level living, with spaces that provide convenient everyday access to the outdoors. The home's custom, owner-designed character is reflected in its architectural details and relationship to the surrounding property. A dramatic vaulted ceiling adds volume and definition to the interior, while a real stone fireplace provides a substantial focal point in the living area. These features complement the home's wooded setting and create a distinctive architectural character. The main-floor primary bedroom opens directly to the screened porch, creating an easy transition between the interior and one of the home's most useful outdoor spaces. The enormous screened porch overlooks the woods and provides an extended area for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, dining or enjoying the surrounding landscape. Its direct connection to the primary bedroom and main living spaces make the porch a natural extension of the home and a central feature of its indoor-outdoor design. The main level is thoughtfully arranged for ease and comfort, allowing the primary living spaces to be enjoyed without relying on stairs for everyday routines. The combination of a vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace and expansive screened porch gives the residence a distinct architectural identity while preserving the practical qualities of a home designed for comfortable daily living. Outside, mature trees and landscaping contribute to a sense of privacy created by the wooded setting. At the same time, the residence is part of a small community of only seven homes, providing a sense of neighborhood without sacrificing the separation created by the surrounding landscape. The setting offers privacy without isolation, with the convenience of nearby Asheville and the natural environment of Fairview close at hand. A dedicated garden area provides space for gardening and outdoor enjoyment, while the screened porch offers a place to experience the changing seasons of Western North Carolina. A two-car garage provides convenient parking and additional storage. A whole-house generator offers added year-round convenience and preparedness.
