Mosaic Realty is proud to introduce to the Asheville real estate market a mid-century masterpiece like no other: 14 Saint Charles Place. Built by famed architect Bertram King in 1959, 14 Saint Charles Place radiates from a 3-acre estate in North Asheville’s Lakeview Park, a highly coveted residence in a highly coveted neighborhood.
A pristinely preserved example of mid-century modern architecture, 14 Saint Charles Place has had only two owners in its 65 years of existence – and the meticulous and loving retention of both major and minor original details shines throughout the single-level home. Where updates have been made, care has been taken to integrate the changes seamlessly into the original aesthetic of the home.
14 Saint Charles Place: an Asheville real estate listing like no other
Even before entering 14 Saint Charles Place, it’s apparent that this estate is like no other: a slate front flagstone walkway meanders amid mature landscaping and Mt. Pisgah views, leading visitors to an entryway boasting an original starburst door handle and a large sidelight window with custom wooden artwork.
Entering the 4,000-square-foot residence is truly like stepping back in time. Original features include wide wood paneling, cabinetry, mosaic confetti countertops, and telescoping patio doors. Even the immaculate white shag wool carpeting in the sunken living room is original to the home. Four bedrooms, four and a half baths (of which one bathroom and one powder room are original to the home), office and formal dining room, along with cathedral ceilings, project an airy, open feel with plenty of space to spread out. Hidden and integrated features throughout the home give it a personality all its own: Think special touches like an integrated paneled cabinet storage with wood shelving; a built-in wet bar featuring original stainless-steel sink, mirrored walls and glass shelving; and a serving buffet with warming lights.
Lakeview Park’s easy access to Asheville amenities
Situated in North Asheville’s Lakeview Park neighborhood, 14 Saint Charles Place offers easy access to a range of amazing amenities. A short walk will get you to Beaver Lake – with its 2-mile walking and running path, non-motorized boating, and fishing – and the Bird Sanctuary, an 8-acre wetland and nature preserve where visitors can observe a range of bird, butterfly and dragonfly species along an easily accessible boardwalk. The nearby Grove Park Country Club and the Country Club of Asheville feature world-class golf, tennis and gym facilities. A quick drive to nearby Merrimon Avenue opens up a world of eclectic restaurants, grocery stores, cafes and retail. All of this sits a mere 4 miles from downtown Asheville.
