Timeless mountain architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and versatile living spaces make 51 Summit Road a compelling opportunity for investors and second-home buyers seeking a distinctive Western North Carolina retreat. Enjoy a private mountain getaway with separate accommodations for guests and potential rental income, just minutes from Asheville and Black Mountain.
Soaring ceilings, 10-foot doors, shiplap accents, and expansive windows create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while seamless indoor-outdoor spaces welcome effortless entertaining. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace on the screened porch and appreciate extraordinary custom details: hickory porch ceilings milled from the property, locust decking, a black walnut kitchen island, reclaimed Lucky Strike Factory stair treads, and solid oak tongue-and-groove flooring.
The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, complemented by a beautifully finished 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and a private exercise studio. The detached garage includes a studio apartment, a large workroom/office, and a workshop. Together, the three existing living spaces offer flexibility for extended stays, multigenerational living, or exploring a combination of personal use and rentals.
The acreage invites further possibilities, including a potential additional cabin, subject to buyer verification of zoning, permits, utilities, and site suitability. Whether your vision is a luxury second home, a shared mountain retreat, or an investment with multiple potential income streams, this property offers exceptional options in a sought-after mountain setting.
