About This Home

Not every house is for everyone-and that's exactly the point. This house is designed for buyers who are seeking character, flexible spaces, privacy and quiet. This peaceful retreat feels miles away from the world but is actually in well established neighborhood with easy access to the hospital and businesses in Asheville, Waynesville, Sylva and beyond. Inside the house, comfortable living areas invite your creativity and imagination: offices, workspaces, media rooms, studios. Whatever you need, there are options. Outside, porches, decks, garden area, play area, hiking and views for miles. If you are someone who sees possibilities where others can't, who values individuality and the beauty of nature, you need to experience this home.
