Tucked within a small, thoughtfully designed enclave, this residence offers a rare sense of privacy, community and connection to nature. Homes are gracefully spaced, allowing for quiet living, while HOA-maintained conservancy trails along the creek invite daily walks and moments outdoors. Surrounded by long-range views and the presence of native wildlife, the setting feels peaceful and alive. Each morning begins with beautiful sunrises and natural light that fills the home throughout the day. Inside this Scandinavian design, a refined, modern aesthetic is paired with clean lines, exceptional craftsmanship and elegance. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by an impressive 11-foot island with storage on both sides, quartz countertops with waterfall edges and a seamless quartz sink. Thoughtfully integrated drawer systems, a Wolf oven and induction cooktop, Liebherr panel refrigerator and freezer, and a discreet drawer microwave create a space that is highly functional and beautifully understated. A butler’s pantry with full-depth cabinetry, floating shelves, wine and stemware storage and plumbing for a coffee station enhances everyday ease, while a well-appointed wet bar with a beverage cooler is ideal for entertaining. Comfort and efficiency are seamlessly integrated with a high-efficiency 4-zone geothermal heat pump, whole-house ERV ventilation system, ozone air purification, humidification and dehumidification, dual-tank hybrid water heater with hot water circulating pump, high-efficiency water softener and RO system and a 10.5-kilowatt solar array with three Tesla Powerwalls for battery storage and backup. Certified Green Built Gold and Net Zero Energy with a HERS Index Score of 14 for exceptional performance. Throughout, modern conveniences elevate daily living, including dual walk-in closets in the primary suite, a wired Sonos sound system with in-ceiling speakers, CAT-6 wiring, dimmable and partially automated lighting and subtle LED uplighting that highlights architectural details. Minimalist design elements, such as clean-lined doors and windows and a custom white oak stair railing, reflect a quiet sophistication. Flexible living spaces include a third bedroom or office with a custom hidden Murphy bed, while generous storage can be found in the mechanical room, workshop area and attic. All just minutes from North Asheville, downtown Asheville and Weaverville, this home offers a harmonious balance of modern living, natural beauty and everyday convenience. Construction of the home was 2021-2024.
