Remarks:

Wake up to epic easterly sunrises and sweeping full city views from this stunning home! Take an easy stroll up the hill to soak in panoramic long-range mountain sunset views — the best of both worlds, morning and night. Designed to maximize the scenery, the home features expansive walls of windows, including 14 south-facing windows that welcome spectacular sunrises and natural light throughout the day. The open-concept main living area is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and showcases stunning mountain vistas from nearly every room. The fabulous updated kitchen features premium granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and flows seamlessly into a light-filled sunroom—an ideal space for morning coffee or evening relaxation. You may feel as though you are stepping right out into the clouds. The home is built like a mountain fortress, on a solid steel support system which has held this unique home solid for almost five decades! Known as the iconic "Airplane House," this architecturally distinctive, Beach House-inspired landmark offers over 4,500 SF of living space on a rare double lot totaling approximately .71 acres. Originally commissioned by a Miami builder seeking to create a "beach house in the mountains," this one-of-a-kind residence combines coastal-inspired design with the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The flexible floor plan offers generously sized rooms throughout, including multiple bedroom suites and an amazing upper-level primary retreat that feels like a true private escape. This spacious suite boasts panoramic views, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, generous closet space, and a soaking tub positioned to overlook the city lights and starlit skies. The lower-level studio is a true showstopper: a newly renovated, modern space featuring a striking spiral staircase, high ceilings, and beautiful designer finishes throughout. With its own separate entrance and private patio, this flexible space is perfect for rental income, a guest suite, or multi-generational living—and has successfully generated both short-term and long-term rental income. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, featuring a wraparound egress deck, stone patio, fire pit area, grassy usable yard, and an additional buildable lot offering future possibilities. Major recent improvements include a new roof (2025), new upper siding, updated HVAC systems, new windows, retaining walls, and numerous interior updates. Located in the rapidly growing Woodfin area adjacent to Reynolds Mountain, this exceptional property is just minutes from Downtown Asheville, the French Broad River, the Woodfin Greenway & Blueway, and the exciting new river recreation amenities transforming the area. Embrace this rare opportunity to own one of Asheville's most memorable homes with unparalleled views, character, income potential, and room to grow. Book your showing today!
