This beautiful European-inspired home was designed by ACM Design located in The Ramble community, in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina. The community is nestled within 1,000 acres of woodlands, bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway — noted for its scenic beauty. The residence is a blend of European-inspired, French architecture and contemporary mountain home design merged together to create a stunning and functional home.
Large expanses of glass provide an interesting counterpoint to the massive stone exterior walls. Whether entertaining guests or spending a quiet evening at home, the interior rooms of this home seamlessly flow together to create the perfect setting. Modern outdoor living spaces are punctuated by the wooded landscape beyond to create an amazing continuity of space.

ACCOLADES: This home was awarded the prestigious, Best Architecture for Single Residence in North Carolina from the International Property Awards. The interior design for this home was also recognized as an Award Winner for Private Residence in North Carolina.
The homeowners are baby boomers, including one couple and a single friend who have decided to live together to age in place. They required two master bedrooms and ample public space so they could all live comfortably and happily together under one roof. The architects collaborated with the homeowners, having them fill out a 14-page questionnaire encompassing style to function, and everything in between.
Since the owners were newly retired, this would change how they want to live now and into the future. Their existing furnishings were incorporated into the design, repurposing and reupholstering to flow with their new surroundings. The result is a beautifully designed and appointed home that incorporates the homeowner’s personality.
What We Love: This stunning North Carolina home offers luxury details throughout its spacious layout. An inviting exterior facade is surrounding by beautiful landscaping with an abundance of space for outdoor living and entertaining. We are loving how this home is connected yet private for a couple and their friend to gracefully age together in this wonderful living environment.
