Candelabro

At Doubletop, the Blue Ridge Mountains open in layer upon layer of blue, each ridge softer, yet somehow more commanding, than the one before it. This home was shaped by hands that understood what it means to live in front of a view like this one... to invite it in. To let it shape who you become.

Enter through the storybook entry, where impressive cathedral ceilings rise above. Light from the Eastern facing sunrise dances through handmade stained glass doors, shifting in color as the day turns. Mesquite hardwood floors (known for their extreme durability and unique presence) run throughout the main level, where everyday living comes easily, all on one floor. Hand carved doors and a carved mantle, featuring a stunning depiction of the home itself, carry the mark of an artisan committed to his craft and surroundings. This is work that rewards a second look and a slow hand along the grain. In the kitchen, a custom tile backsplash, copper sink, and stunning picture window add their own thumbprint to the place where mornings begin. The primary suite is also on the main level, with vaulted ceilings, instant porch access, a claw foot soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet.

High ceilings continue on the lower level, where the library/media room is lined with stunning built-in arched bookshelves. Here, and in the two guest bedrooms, the views are every bit as impressive as those above. One bedroom is currently used as a bonus space but offers potential for so much more: a room for projects, for guests, or simply for watching weather drift across the ridges.

Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a two car garage complete the home. An additional lot is included, with views just as compelling, offering room to grow: a future guest house, an investment, or simply a buffer of quiet between you and the world.

The gated community offers just what is needed to protect your privacy, without the added amenities that drive up HOA fees. Downtown Asheville is 30 minutes away, yet seemingly lifetimes away.

This home is equally suited to a second home or an income-producing investment/short term rental. As a mountain retreat, it offers one-level living, privacy, and an easy drive to Asheville whenever you want it. As an investment, its craftsmanship, views, and flexible lower level give guests a stay they will remember (and document), and the included lot adds long-term value and options. Either way, this is a place where the artistry is in the details and the view is present from every level. This is where the person you are becoming comes home to the person you always hoped to be.
