About this home
Originally built in 1966 by renowned Asheville architect Lawrence Traber, 5 Brookside is widely considered one of his finest mid-century modern works. Designed around Traber’s philosophy of harmony with nature, the home is set on 1.34 acres of lush gardens in a private, wooded setting—just minutes from downtown Asheville.
Meticulously and respectfully reimagined, the home blends iconic design with extensive high-end upgrades. Steel beam construction provides lasting structural integrity. Recent exterior improvements include fresh paint (2024), a double-thickness TPO roof with a 20-year warranty (2025), new gutters, and four new skylights that flood the interior with natural light.
Inside, the home features new Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, paneled columns, and new 8" baseboards throughout. Sierra Pacific windows enhance both aesthetics and efficiency. Comfort and reliability are ensured with a 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. A separate laundry room with Miele appliances adds everyday convenience. A partially finished lower-level room offers flexibility for a home gym, music room, playroom, or office.
A dramatic two-story wall-of-glass Garden Room addition (2024) creates a striking connection to the outdoors and opens to an expanded back terrace. Outdoor features include a flagstone retaining wall, hidden drainage, a soapstone gardening shelf, and a welcoming stone patio ideal for entertaining.
The primary suite was fully renovated and expanded in 2025, creating a peaceful retreat with a luxurious new bath and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Thoughtful lighting throughout highlights art and architecture, including select permanent installations with 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 mid-century design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a tranquil natural setting—just moments from the heart of Asheville....
