56 sherwood road

In the early 1920s, as the Kenilworth neighborhood developed, several homes of significance were built and this beautiful house was one of them. Built by John H. and Rachel Jenkins and attributed to Biltmore House architect, Richard Sharp Smith, this home sits atop the knoll on Sherwood Road. Mountain views, heart pine floors, nine-foot ceilings, a large corner lot, four fireplaces and gracious porches really make this home special. The current owners have renovated the three bathrooms and kitchen. They modernized this almost 3200 sf four bedroom brick home with copper pipes, new wiring, quartz countertops, central air conditioning, and whole-house water filtration. This Craftsman-style home features a Grove Quarry granite foundation, an additional large sunroom and a 2000 sf poured basement. Come own this piece of Asheville history which is walking distance to Biltmore village, the hospital and downtown Asheville and the urban woods on Beaucatcher Mountain.
