Experience the perfect harmony of mid-century charm and Zen-inspired luxury on this 1.88-acre Leicester estate. This masterfully updated farmhouse exudes warmth, showcasing original 1940s unpainted wood trim, hardwoods, and a custom kitchen with reclaimed cabinetry, concrete counters, and a unique bowling alley wood island. The spacious layout includes a 23’ living room with a gas fireplace.
Storage is unparalleled, featuring a large walk-up attic and a walk-out basement with a workshop and finished bonus room. The property’s crown jewel is the stunning guest cottage - a light-filled sanctuary featuring reclaimed barnwood floors and Shoji pocket doors that lead to a serene Japanese-style bath, complete with an indoor hot tub and garden-view shower. This easily provides the opportunity for rental income or a special space for family and friends.
Outdoor living is exceptional, with multiple expansive decks and a tranquil screened porch perfect for taking in the mountain views. Immerse yourself in the idyllic setting of professional gardens, featuring a majestic 20-year-old Ginkgo tree and five cherry trees. With a commercial-grade metal roof and a newer 4-bedroom septic, this HOA-free sanctuary offers the total package just 25 minutes from Downtown Asheville. Be ready to fall in LOVE.
