24 Kimberly Avenue, Asheville, NC
$1,950,000 – 5 bedrooms – 4 full baths – 1 half bath – 5,155 sq. ft. – .89 acres
Known historically as Kells Castle, this home is a Griffin Award winner from the Preservation Society of Asheville, located just a short drive from downtown in the Grove Park neighborhood. The home is tucked into a forested lot beside Grove Park Inn's golf course, surrounded by gardens and patios, inviting residents to enjoy Asheville's mild climate in comfort.
Designed by architect Douglas Ellington and built in 1951, the home is built of cinder block, an unusual choice for its era, and has been extensively renovated to preserve its original woodwork and masonry while updating the core systems. A cathedral living room anchors the home with vaulted ceilings and architectural detailing true to Ellington's style.
The floor plan offers five bedrooms and four and a half baths—providing abundant space for visitors. A sauna, built-in features, spiral staircase, skylight, and brick oven are just a few details that make the interior one-of-a-kind.

307 S Braeside Court, Biltmore Park, NC
$1,699,000 – 4 bedrooms – 4 full baths – 5,989 sq. ft. – 1.60 acres
Combining the classic elegance of Arts and Crafts architecture with modern style and convenience, this estate boasts ample cabinetry, built-in features like a wet bar for entertaining, and tall ceilings with generous windows that fill the first floor with natural light.
Two identical primary suites (one on the main level, one upstairs) give you the choice of where to settle in. Meanwhile, a deluxe kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, custom storage, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Dacor gas cooktop, and walk-in pantry is perfect for uncompromising home cooks.
A large elevator runs to all three floors. Outside, a spacious covered front porch, screened back porch, and decks extend the living space into the property's private 1.6 acres of forest. The home has been freshly painted inside and out and is ready to move into, with schools, the community pool, and Biltmore Park Town Square all close by.

8 Deer Grass Court, Arden, NC
$7,995,000 – 4 bedrooms – 4 full baths – 2 half baths – 7,277 sq. ft. – 0.93 acres
Known as The Perch, 8 Deer Grass Court sits at the top of Chestnut Top Mountain, and the whole house is built around that fact. Slim steel framing carries the structural load so the walls can give way to glass, which is what makes 7,277 square feet feel less like an interior and more like a vantage point. Both sunrise and sunset are in play from inside.
The main living spaces stay warm despite all that scale. A floating walnut staircase ties the levels together, and a wide interior bridge carries you from the primary suite across to the living areas, daylit the whole way. Every room has motorized shades, which is less a luxury than a practical answer to this much south-facing glass.
Outside, the balconies run the length of the view, from Mount Pisgah on one end to the downtown Asheville skyline on the other. The grounds were planted with perennials and evergreens chosen to hold their look through all four seasons without demanding much in return, which suits a house that works equally well as a full-time residence or a seasonal one.
The mechanical side is well sorted. Geothermal handles heating and cooling. A Lutron system runs the lighting. There's an elevator, a wet bar, a hot tub, and an EV charging station at the garage.
The home features:
- 0.93 acres
- Built in 2017
- Geothermal heating and cooling
- Elevator
- Lutron lighting system
- Electric vehicle charging station
- Available Cliffs Club membership

Tucked behind private gates on 3.93 acres in Biltmore Forest, 9 Brooklawn Chase brings the spirit of a European chateau to Asheville.

A thorough update since then has tailored it to the way people live today, pairing Old World artistry with interiors full of daylight.
