10 Blackberry Lane

This is the kind of luxury that’s meant to be lived in. Set on nearly two private, beautifully landscaped acres in highly desirable Carter Cove, this 5BR/3.5BA North Asheville home offers impressive long-range mountain views, generous spaces and an easy, comfortable elegance that never feels fussy. Walls of windows bring the outdoors in, while the open living areas, hardwood floors and dramatic stone woodburning fireplace create a warm backdrop for everything from quiet mornings to a house full of family and friends. Multiple decks, a breezy screened-in porch and lush, established grounds give you plenty of ways to enjoy the setting and views. Inside, there’s room to spread out. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a welcome retreat with a spa-like bathroom, joined by three additional bedrooms and another full bath. Head downstairs and the house shows off its fun side: a light-filled second living room with wet bar, guest bedroom and full bath, art studio, wine cellar, and a small gym with its own sauna. Doors open directly to a relaxing covered patio, making this level equally suited to overnight guests, creative pursuits, movie nights, workouts or opening a good bottle of wine and doing absolutely none of the above. And entertaining here is refreshingly easy: a two-car garage, abundant guest parking and (hallelujah for a mountain home!) no steep driveway to navigate! All this privacy comes with an incredibly convenient North Asheville location close to Beaver Lake, Merrimon Avenue and just minutes from downtown Asheville. Beautiful and wonderfully livable, this is a home that delivers the good life without taking itself too seriously.
