Originally the clubhouse for the Swannanoa Golf and Country Club (later the Asheville Country Club), designed by noted architect Richard Sharpe Smith and later relocated to its current setting.

Single-level living with heart pine floors throughout and 4 bedrooms, all ensuite on the main level. Home features 4 fireplaces (2 wood-burning, all with gas starters), including a standout kitchen fireplace with rotisserie. Beautiful built-ins are found throughout, adding warmth, function, and historic character. Cedar shake exterior and clay tile roof complete the architectural appeal. Extensive updates include new interior and exterior paint, renovated primary bath with heated floors, and a thoughtfully designed outdoor kitchen ideal for entertaining. Basement apartment with homestay permit and separate music studio/flex space provide added versatility. Additional features include wine cellar, sauna, and seamless indoor/outdoor flow with glass doors opening to inviting outdoor living spaces. Set on 1.18 acres with usable park-like grounds—room for recreation (pickleball potential) and seasonal morel mushrooms. Walkable neighborhood with easy access to restaurants and shopping.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
Residential Single-Family Medium Density District
It is the intent of the RS-4 Residential Single-Family Medium Density District to establish a medium density for single-family dwellings and to stabilize and protect the residential character of the district while promoting a suitable environment for single-family living. Non-single-family development normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area is also permitted.
