Privately positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac in one of Brevard’s most naturally beautiful settings, this mid-century modern residence offers a sophisticated blend of architectural design, serene surroundings, and elevated mountain living. Originally built in 1977, the home has been thoughtfully preserved to showcase its clean lines, expansive glass, and seamless connection to the outdoors.
Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows define the main living spaces, filling the home with natural light and framing the surrounding forest landscape. The open-concept living and dining area is anchored by an impressive statement fireplace, creating a refined yet inviting atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond, a richly wood-paneled sunroom provides a warm, retreat-like setting that captures the essence of mountain living with a distinctly elevated feel.
The main level also features a private office, offering a quiet and functional space for work or study. On the lower level, a spacious family room with a second fireplace extends the living experience, while a generously sized bonus/bedroom with full bath creates an ideal guest suite or bunk room. With its layout and scale, the lower level presents an exceptional opportunity to create a fully independent living quarters.
Additional features include a two-car garage, a second laundry/workshop as well as a dedicated workshop space, ideal for crafts, storage, or creative pursuits. The setting offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from the charm of downtown Brevard, as well as nearby parks, national forests, a racquet club, and a country club—providing access to an active, wellness-oriented lifestyle.
A distinctive offering that combines timeless design, flexible living, and an exceptional natural backdrop, this residence is well suited as a primary home or refined mountain retreat...
