A piece of Asheville's history from the 20's

In the early 1920's as the Kenilworth neighborhood developed, several homes of significance were built and this beautiful house was one of them.  

 

Built by John H. and Rachel Jenkins and attributed to Biltmore House architect Richard Sharpe Smith, it sits atop the knoll on Sherwood Road.  Mountain views, heart pine floors, nine-foot ceilings, a large corner lot, four fireplaces and gracious porches really make this a special place.  

 

It was the nest for generations of the same family and for the past two decades, the current owners have cared for and modernized this almost 3200 sf home with copper pipes, new wiring, quartz countertops, central air conditioning, whole house water filtration and restored the baths and kitchen. This Craftsman style home features a Grove Quarry granite foundation, an additional large sunroom and a 2,000 square foot poured foundation. 

 

This gem is what the new neighborhoods try to copy. Come own a piece of Asheville history.
