Nestled on .92 acres of horticultural splendor within the gated community of Keswick Hills, this stunning custom home is a rare marriage of architectural elegance and botanical artistry. While the home itself is a masterpiece, the grounds are a living legacy—meticulously curated by a Master Gardener over decades of thoughtful design and nurturing care. The Grounds: A Master Gardener’s Vision, the exterior of this property transcends traditional landscaping, offering a private park-like setting that must be seen to be believed: Decades of Curation: Mature, specimen trees and lush, layered perennials create a symphony of year-round color and privacy. Artful Design: Meandering paths lead to tranquil garden "rooms," offering serene spaces for reflection or grand outdoor entertaining. Nature & Serenity: The established gardens provide a lush, green buffer making the .92-acre lot feel like a vast, secluded retreat. The Residence, Crafted Elegance: Inside, the home is bathed in natural light and defined by exquisite details. Artisan Touches: Handcrafted stained glass windows by local artisans infuse the home with warmth and a unique mountain character. Chef’s Dream: A gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the open living area, seamlessly connecting to multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. Spacious Layout: Boasting 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the floor plan is designed for both refined comfort and practical luxury, complete with two attached garages and abundant storage. Location: The Best of Both Worlds, Keswick Hills offers an unparalleled lifestyle, balancing high-country peace with city convenience: Educational Hub: Ideally located near a premier selection of public, charter, and independent schools, providing families with exceptional choices. Close to the Action: Enjoy being just minutes from Asheville’s top-tier shopping, world-class dining, and vibrant arts scene. Urban Proximity: Experience true mountain living without the commute—you are only 15 minutes from the heart of Downtown Asheville. This is mountain living at its most refined—a home where every detail, from the artisan glass to the master-tended soil, reflects a commitment to quality and beauty.
