48 Woodvale Avenue, Asheville, NC

The Grace neighborhood of North Asheville remains one of the city’s most disciplined markets, where proximity to the amenities of Merrimon Avenue meets the quietude of established residential enclaves. This 1988 residence has undergone a comprehensive 2023 transformation, reimagined by architect Kamal Risk and Redshed Builders. Spanning 2,025 square feet, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom interior reflects a rigorous commitment to contemporary minimalism, characterized by vaulted ceilings, custom wood accents, and integrated Hunter Douglas automation. The kitchen serves as a centerpiece of utilitarian luxury, featuring Italian ceramic surfaces, a waterfall island, and a suite of Fisher & Paykel appliances. Outside, the property is defined by composite decking and architectural fencing on a secluded dead-end street. In a submarket where inventory often leans toward the traditional, a full down-to-the-studs renovation of this caliber represents a rare turn-key opportunity for the aesthetic purist. Detailed specifications and private viewings are available through Peters & Associates.
