About This Home
Timeless home filled with warmth, beauty, and character—a rare opportunity to own a piece of Asheville history. 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. Located in the desirable Proximity Park/GPI neighborhood, less than one mile to the Omni Grove Park Inn and approx. 1.5 miles to downtown Asheville.
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.
