There’s a quiet intention behind this home, one you feel the moment you arrive. Designed by the renowned architect Bert King, a notable figure in Asheville’s architectural history known for shaping homes that feel both enduring and deeply connected to their surroundings. This timeless brick rancher rests within the charming Jewell Acres community on a private .74 acre setting with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
A natural stone walkway leads you in, framed by mature landscaping that has been thoughtfully cultivated over time, creating a sense of beauty, privacy, and arrival. Inside, natural light moves effortlessly through the main living spaces, where a classic brick fireplace anchors the living room and expansive glass draws your eye outward. The kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined with clean finishes, custom pantry storage, and a layout that connects seamlessly to the dining area.
Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, while the basement introduces a second living area with its own fireplace, an additional bedroom, and a full bath, offering flexibility for guests or extended living. A two-car garage and a workshop space provide versatility for storage, hobbies, or creative use.
Outdoor living unfolds across multiple levels, with an elevated deck capturing mountain views and a covered patio below that feels tucked into the landscape. The gentle sounds of the creek on the property create a calming backdrop, while the yard offers both privacy and usable space.
Set within a community known for its beautiful pond and peaceful setting, and just a short drive to Downtown Asheville and Black Mountain, this is a home defined by architectural legacy, natural beauty, and a lasting sense of place.
