Meet David Stephens

Fair warning: I'm a lot friendlier than I look.

I'm David Stephens, a sixth-generation Western North Carolinian. I grew up in Marshall, I've lived in Weaverville for over twenty years, and I help buyers and sellers across Asheville, Weaverville, Marshall, Mars Hill and the surrounding mountain communities. Luxury homes, mountain estates, second homes, helping first-time buyers, and relocation are the heart of what I do.

I've negotiated real estate deals since 2015, but I learned to negotiate years earlier on a crisis negotiation team. The skills carry over: listening for what the other side really needs, keeping a clear head when a deal gets tense, and weighing when to push and when to wait on your behalf.

Perched at 3,200 feet in the Blue Ridge above Asheville, this Net Zero Ready, GBH Gold, and Energy Star certified home pairs high-performance building science with true craftsmanship and sweeping mountain views. Exterior siding and interior trim were custom milled on-site — white pine finished in hand-burnt Shou Sugi Ban, poplar trim with a designer reglet reveal, and built-ins crafted from walnut felled on the property. Wide-plank white oak floors anchor the main level; the lower level features a custom poured marble epoxy floor. The kitchen features GE Monogram appliances, a Kohler Stages sink, Wilson Art quartz counters, and custom cabinetry with Fenix fronts. Radiant heated tile floors and a Rais Q-Tee wood stove add warmth, backed by a Bosch IDS Premium 20 SEER HVAC system and energy recovery ventilation. The building envelope is exceptional: full-rainscreen Zip System sheathing, standing-seam metal roofing, hybrid blown-in/batt/spray foam insulation, and a cast-in-place foundation — engineered for lasting performance. Fully wired for modern living, the home is solar-ready with battery-backup conduit, Cat6+ throughout, a 20-speaker whole-home audio system, hardwired security with remote monitoring, and smart control of HVAC, lighting, blinds, and the water heater. Outside: a custom Alfresco grill, Big Ass Fans, Ipe decking, an Invisible Fence dog containment system, and a dual 1,000-gallon septic system round out the property. Mountain luxury, built to perform — a footprint as light as the view is expansive.

Built in 2023, this single-level home in The Cottages at Byron Forest sits on just over half an acre of level, fenced yard bordered by trees. An aluminum fence adds peace of mind. Wood floors run through the open living area, which is anchored by a stone gas fireplace. The kitchen is set up for people who actually cook, featuring a gas range, granite counters, an oversized sink, a pantry, and an island with a breakfast bar for casual meals. The split-bedroom layout gives the primary suite its own side of the house, with two walk-in closets and a private bath. The other two bedrooms share a full bath on the opposite side. Upstairs, a 384 sq. ft. bonus room offers flexibility as an office, hobby space, or extra room for guests. Out back, the screened composite deck overlooks the fenced yard and gets steady use from early spring well into fall. Up front, the covered porch features a tongue-and-groove ceiling. The practical details are already taken care of: a whole-home generator, tankless gas water heater, gutter guards, walk-in attic storage, and a main-level laundry room. The spacious crawl space provides plenty of additional room for storage or a workshop. Fiber cement siding and a two-car garage with a storage closet add to the home's convenience. Located just minutes from the Ecusta Trail, downtown Hendersonville, and Mills River, with Asheville Regional Airport approximately a 12-minute drive away.

In the great room you will find huge cathedral ceilings that open to the loft above, a fireplace with gas logs, built-ins, and crown molding.

The fourth bedroom is the fully finished room over the garage. It is completely separate from the rest of the upstairs and has its own private bath, so it gives you true privacy for guests, a home office, a studio, or whatever you need. Downstairs beside the kitchen, the current owners have a den set up, and it could easily be converted back into a formal dining room. Outdoor living is a big part of this home. You have a front porch, a screened porch, a back patio with a brick fire pit, and a side patio, so there is plenty of room for entertaining. The current owners have put over $30,000 into upgrades since 2022, including a whole house Generac generator, patio repairs to correct drainage, gas logs, shutters, a new refrigerator, a new water heater, tree removal, and landscaping. The Flat Rock Village Bakery, Flat Rock Playhouse, and the Carl Sandburg Home are all close by, and you are just minutes from downtown Hendersonville.
