The home

A mid-century house built around art, light and the trees, with a double-sided fireplace, a window-wrapped sunroom and a screened garden pavilion. 3,460 square feet on 1.66 acres.

Some homes have a view. This one has a point of view.

Set among mature trees on Hogback Mountain Road, this remarkably distinctive mid-century residence unfolds as a series of light-filled spaces designed around art, entertaining and a constant connection to nature. A dramatic double-sided fireplace anchors the main living and dining rooms, while the window-wrapped sunroom creates an unforgettable setting for music, conversation or quiet afternoons overlooking the wooded landscape.

Four en suite bedrooms include an expansive primary suite surrounded by windows, complemented by a private office and flexible gathering spaces. The lower level offers its own living area and vintage kitchenette, opening directly onto a broad terrace for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Tucked into the trees, a screened garden pavilion provides yet another unexpected place to dine, gather or simply escape. The pavilion is said to have been renowned Tryon architect Holland Brady's assignment as mentor to the architect who built the home for herself. Winter views await looking back toward Paris Mountain and over to the northwest, with the potential to open them further. Lovingly cared for by two professors during their last 13 years of ownership. A large studio and workshop sits behind the garage, with space for a walkout workshop or storage downstairs.

With its walls of glass, generous proportions and beautifully preserved architectural personality, 1225 Hogback Mountain Road offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home with genuine soul, ready for its next thoughtful chapter.
