This inspiring mountain home was designed by Retro + Fit Design in collaboration with Living Stone Design, located in the community of Reynolds Mountain in Asheville, North Carolina. A recently retired matriarch wanted to have a spacious home that she could use to host her grown children and grandchildren.
Encompassing 4,849 square feet of living space, this five bedroom, (plus bunkroom), six bath home was designed to maximize its surrounding views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A fabulous indoor-outdoor lifestyle was created through the use of sliding glass doors, expansive decks, patios and sumptuous swimming pool.

On the exterior of this contemporary mountain dwelling is a mix of local fieldstone, cedar siding, metal and Nichiha (on the far right) — a Fiber cement siding that is incredibly versatile and brings the look of wood. The panels offer a crisp, clean look for modern-style exteriors and are highly durable and easy to maintain.
