Description
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, with epic year-round long-range mountain views and breathtaking views of Downtown Asheville. 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. 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. The flexible floor plan includes multiple bedroom suites, including a spacious upper-level primary retreat with panoramic views, dual vanities, generous closet space, and a soaking tub positioned to take in the scenery. The lower level offers exceptional versatility and is currently configured as a private apartment with separate entrance, living area, bedroom, bath, and kitchenette. The space has successfully generated both short-term and long-term rental income and offers excellent potential for guests, multigenerational living, or supplemental 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
