3735 French Broad Parkway, Marshall, NC

The architecture of 3735 French Broad Parkway serves as a disciplined study in riverside integration, positioned as the closest residence to the water within the French Broad Crossing conservation community. Built in 2017 by Livingstone Design + Build, the 2,333-square-foot residence emphasizes accessibility through thoughtful aging-in-place standards, including zero-grade entries and wide galleries. The four-bedroom layout prioritizes a main-level primary suite equipped with heated flooring and a large walk-in shower, while two additional bedrooms occupy the same floor to ensure effortless lateral living. In the Marshall submarket, where steep terrain often dictates vertical floor plans, the flat lot and single-level functionality of this home represent a rare architectural commodity for the discerning collector of mountain property. The interiors transition seamlessly to the riverfront, offering a quiet proximity to the water that is seldom permitted under modern environmental setbacks. Private viewings of this four-bedroom sanctuary may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
