4 Kent Pl Asheville, NC 28804

Listing details for 4 Kent Pl, Asheville, NC 28804 : Perched on a gentle knoll in Beaverdam Valley, this architecturally significant residence is the work of Bert King, one of Western North Carolina's most beloved mid-century designers. From the first step of the thoughtfully composed entry sequence, slate underfoot, natural materials layering in, you understand this home was built with intention. It was also remodeled that way. The gracious main house has been carefully updated to honor King's original vision while elevating it for modern living. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams draw the eye upward; walls of glass draw it outward, framing wooded ridgelines and mountain silhouettes that shift with every season and hour of light. The open floor plan flows exactly as King intended, now carrying design-forward details that make a home truly livable: thoughtful storage, quiet conveniences, and finishes that feel like they belong here. Two impressive stone fireplaces anchor the social heart of the home - one in the soaring beamed living room, one in the family room off the kitchen - each as commanding today as the day they were built. The remodeled kitchen is functional and beautiful, a working center of the home that holds its own in such distinguished company. The bath renovations are a particular achievement: spa-caliber transformations that feel genuinely modern while remaining in full conversation with the stone, wood, and clean lines of the original architecture. Period-appropriate lighting throughout completes the picture, fixtures chosen to feel as though they could have always been here, yet entirely of this moment. The custom stair rail remains the work of art it was designed to be. Separated from the main residence by a lovely stone patio, the guest suite above the garage offers light, privacy, and comfort in equal measure; a retreat within a retreat. The crowning detail - this residence sits on nearly an acre in North Asheville's Beaverdam Valley, minutes from everything that makes this city remarkable. Homes of this architectural pedigree rarely surface.
