This masterfully engineered mid-century modern sanctuary offers the ultimate lifestyle with one-level living, zero-grade entry, and major peace-of-mind updates, including a new HVAC and new water heater. Designed by an engineer over five years to perfect its passive solar orientation, the home stays naturally cool in summer and warm in winter. The heart of the home is a sun-drenched living area where wall-to-wall glass frames the gardens, even casting a soft pink glow throughout the room when the azaleas bloom. Sprawling across 3,000+ square feet, the layout features a 2023 designer kitchen with Caesarstone counters and integrated appliances-including cleverly concealed refrigerator and dishwasher. Pristine original hand-laid tile bathrooms preserve the home's vintage soul, while the 2.63-acre grounds offer ultimate privacy with minimal grass to manage. The property includes a greenhouse with radiant heated floors and a massive open-concept studio that could serve as a rec room, gym, or creative workspace. Enjoy a quiet, intentional pace of life just 1.5 miles from downtown Marshall and a short drive to Asheville. Architectural gems this meticulously planned are a rare find; this is your chance to own a move-in-ready work of art.
