Description
Welcome to "Glen Campbell" - a rare French Tudor Retreat in North Asheville. Nestled on 2.5 private acres, just minutes from downtown, Blue Ridge Parkway, shopping, medical and all other needed conveniences. Formerly known as "Chateau Elaine", this distinctive home was once owned by the Ference family, proprietors of Asheville's beloved Ference Cheese Shop. Set above a professionally landscaped yard featuring natural boulders, rock walls, and serene stone patios, including a cozy firepit. The property's unique setting overlooks a large undeveloped tract that includes an historic 1800's log cabin under a long-term family trust agreement providing a tranquil setting and undisturbed view. In 2011, the home was tastefully updated with a stunning new kitchen and dining area, a modernized primary suite, office area and a convenient new half bath- all while preserving the home's original architecture and charm. This is a one-of-a-kind North Asheville gem with timeless appeal!
