52 Robinhood Road, Asheville, NC

Situated three blocks from the Country Club of Asheville, this 1988 residence by architect Mark Sinsky presents a rare study in elevated mountain living. Spanning 5,335 square feet, the five-bedroom home is defined by a central artisan stacked-stone partition and a two-story foyer that transitions into living spaces marked by vaulted, beamed ceilings and expansive window seating. The interior program accommodates both formal entertaining and daily utility, featuring a kitchen equipped with dual Thermador ovens, Miele dishwashers, and Wolf induction technology. While the property offers the seclusion of a forest retreat, its proximity to downtown Asheville provides a distinct logistical advantage for those prioritizing accessibility without compromising privacy. The local high-end market continues to favor such well-positioned estates that balance architectural integrity with immediate access to private club amenities. This property, offering six bathrooms and significant primary suite proportions, enters the market for the first time since its construction. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

First time on the market, this mountain home designed by architect Mark Sinsky feels like a retreat in the forest of the Blue Ridge Mountains yet having the convenience of being only three blocks from the country club of Asheville and 3 miles from the heart of downtown Asheville. Upon entering the two story foyer, there is an artisan stacked stone masterpiece separating the formal living and dining room. With built-in shelving, a wooden ceiling, exposed beams and wood burning fireplace, this room begs you to enjoy your morning coffee on the oversized window seat while watching the dappled eastern light come pouring in. Vaulted ceilings are a trademark of this home and the family room is no exception. Family and friends can gather around the wood burning stove while keeping the chef company in the adjoining kitchen featuring top of the line appliances including Wolf induction cooktop, dual Thermador ovens, dual Miele dishwashers and a sub-zero refrigerator. The expansive primary suite is an oasis of tranquility.
