About This Home

Tucked away in charming Black Mountain, this one-of-a-kind home offers convenient seclusion and timeless appeal. Each level boasts a private primary suite and large porches or private balconies are accessible from nearly every indoor living space. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen—beautiful granite counters and backsplash, abundant natural light, and excellent workflow—flowing into a cozy Keeping Room with a floor-to-ceiling stone, wood-burning fireplace, and then into the most perfect sunroom surrounded by trees on three sides. The lower level, a proven short- and long-term rental, is sure to impress with a rec room (pool table, gas fireplace), 9-seat theater, full kitchen, and private screened porch. Every detail of this exceptional home is thoughtfully designed for comfort, warmth, and grace—perfect for large gatherings or quiet mornings alike.
