Description

Rare opportunity to own a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath mid-cent gem on Alexander Avenue in Grovemont-on-Swannanoa — part of one of America’s first planned communities, developed by E.W. Grove beginning in 1924. This architectural treasure sits on a desirable corner lot and strikes the perfect balance between authentic mid-cent character and modern updates, featuring a refreshed kitchen and baths while preserving the original design integrity that makes these homes so sought after. Practical updates are already done — roof replaced in 2018, a brand new privacy fence, and an extensively updated electrical system — making this one truly move-in ready. And with the seller offering $5, 000 toward closing costs, stepping into this piece of history is more attainable than ever. The historic Grovemont neighborhood offers a walkable lifestyle with the beloved Grovemont farmers market, library, and live music all within easy reach. And the neighborhood is only getting better. Beacon Park — a transformative new development on the site of the former Beacon Blanket Factory — is set to open just minutes away in 2026, bringing a world-class bike park, bouldering walls, a one-mile walking loop, playground, and a 4, 000-person event lawn to Swannanoa. New local businesses including Short Sleeve Coffee and Ovenbird Kitchen are already open, with more on the way. This area is experiencing a genuine renaissance. When you’re ready to venture further, Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountain, and downtown Asheville are all just minutes away. A coveted corner lot, a storied address, and a piece of American architectural history — all in one.
