Property Description

Originally built in 1966 by renowned architect Lawrence Traber, 5 Brookside is widely regarded as one of his premier mid-century modern designs from a five-decade career in Asheville. True to Traber's philosophy of seamless integration with nature, this architectural masterpiece is set on 1.34 acres of flourishing gardens in a private, forested setting—yet just minutes from downtown. The home has been meticulously and respectfully reimagined with extensive high-end upgrades that preserve its iconic design. Steel beam construction provides enduring structural integrity. The exterior was freshly painted in 2024, and a new double-thickness TPO roof with a 20-year warranty was installed in 2025, along with new gutters and four new skylights that flood the interior with natural light. Inside, the home features all new Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, paneled columns, and new 8" baseboards throughout. Sierra Pacific windows enhance both beauty and efficiency. Comfort is ensured with a new Generac whole-house generator, Rheem HVAC and heat pump system (2023) with five zones, a new air handler (2025), and a Navien high-efficiency tankless water heater with recirculating pump (2023). New sewer and water lines were installed in 2025. The fully remodeled kitchen (2024) is a showpiece, featuring premium Fulgor appliances, a 48" stainless Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a newly added butler's pantry and separate laundry room with Miele appliances. A partially finished lower level room offers several options for a home gym, music room, playroom or home office. A stunning two-story wall of glass Garden Room addition (2024) creates a dramatic connection to the outdoors and leads to the expanded back terrace, complete with a flagstone retaining wall, hidden drainage, soapstone gardening shelf, and an inviting stone patio ideal for entertaining. The primary suite has been completely renovated and expanded (2025), offering a serene retreat with a luxurious new primary bath and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Thoughtful lighting throughout the home highlights art and architecture, with select permanent installations including custom metal ironwork by local artisans Screaming Hot Iron. Additional improvements include an expanded circular concrete driveway (2024) with new exterior lighting and numerous system upgrades that make this home as functional as it is beautiful. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully modernized architectural landmark, 5 Brookside offers timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a tranquil natural setting—just moments from the heart of Asheville.
