179 Marlborough Road

Step into timeless character. Originally built in 1957 and enhanced with a substantial addition in 2005, this residence offers a rare blend of architectural charm and modern comforts. From the moment you enter, you’ll notice the intentional design details: art niches that invite curated displays, architectural glass block filtering light into adjacent rooms, and custom glass doors that add depth, texture, and a sense of easy modern flow throughout. Architectural dormers illuminate the second floor with natural light and cozy nooks, creating warm inviting spaces that feel both open, useful and serene. Hardwood floors on the first floor are lovely. Freshly painted throughout using a designer's favorite warm neutral by Sherwin Williams. There really is a chef's kitchen. You'll find a gas range, new white quartz counters, European-style utility racks, a custom back splash that's one-of-a-kind, and a double refrigerator/freezer that you have to see to believe. Plenty of space for friends and holidays. You'll love the two primary suites—one on the main level and one upstairs—both with full ensuite bathrooms, ideal for multi-generational living or hosting guests in comfort and privacy. In total, the home gives you four bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath. The second floor has all new neutral carpet for a crisp, move-in-ready feel. Active lifestyle? Enjoy a quick 3-minute golf cart ride to a premier 18-hole championship golf course, or take advantage of the home’s proximity to 5 of Asheville's favorite parks - within only three miles! These provide immediate access for outdoor recreation, nature walks, puppy fun, and activity. A dedicated kayak rack adds a thoughtful touch for those who will enjoy time on the Asheville's French Broad. Of course, take a break on the huge Trex deck with a view. Then fire up the built-in gas grill for dinner. BONUS: The lower level is a standout feature, offering over 1,775 square feet of versatile basement space complete with storage shelving, utility sinks, workbenches, task lighting, garage parking—perfect for hobbyists, collectors, organized hoarding, or those seeking exceptional storage and workspace. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle defined by architectural character, versatility, comfort, and convenience. Schedule your private showing.
