A rare mid-century modern gem, this four-bedroom, two-bath 1966 home was designed by noted Asheville architect Bert King, blending timeless design with modern luxury. Located in the desirable Kimberly Woods neighborhood, just minutes from downtown and Beaver Lake, the home has been extensively renovated with $900k in thoughtful updates. The split-level floor plan features a stunning new kitchen with Thermador appliances and dining area, a step-down living room opening to an expanded deck with black locust wood, and walls of sliders showcasing the landscaped acre. The dramatic central stone chimney featuring 2 fireplaces have been fully restored, while original details such as custom metal stairwell, built-ins, and striking tilework preserve its mid-century soul. Perfect for entertaining, the home’s open flow connects indoor and outdoor living, with terraced hardscaping and a private cul-de-sac setting. Hidden from the street yet moments from city life, this rare Bert King design offers both architectural significance and everyday livability.
