Nestled in a private enclave sits an exquisite, contemporary, custom-built Asheville home. With views of the mountains and city skyline from the east to the west, this special vista is one many residents do not see because only a few know of this "Old Asheville" neighborhood where the first pediatrician in the area had his residence. This refined four bedroom, light-filled home has three master suites, abundant deck space, magnificent marble and granite bathrooms, a chef's kitchen and is adjacent to the University's observatory forestry land. With lower level guest quarters and elevator potential, this house allows its owners to age in place or raise a flock!
