About this home

Step into the charm and character of Black Mountain history with this 1926 Colonial known as the "Summey House," featured in the 1993 Black Mountain Home Tour and highlighted in both the Black Mountain News and Asheville Citizen-Times. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Black Mountain and convenient to I-40, this distinctive home offers mountain views, timeless architecture, and numerous recent improvements. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level, and many major updates have already been completed, including a new digital boiler, three ductless mini-split systems, fresh interior paint, replacement of nearly all windows, a new carport, full-house surge protector, updated drainage, and a large fenced area perfect for pets, gardening, or outdoor enjoyment. The kitchen is being refreshed with new flooring (on order), and the gas range and refrigerator were replaced in 2024. Outside, enjoy established gardens, a beautiful brick patio, and inviting outdoor spaces with endless potential for entertaining family and friends. Combining historic character with important modern updates, this unique property offers the opportunity to own a piece of Black Mountain history while enjoying the comfort and convenience of today's lifestyle.
