Luxury homes on the market in Marion

May 14, 2023

These are some of the most luxurious homes on the Marion market.

Located in the Historic District of Black Mountain this converted home is currently the location painted porch gallery which has artistic offerings and a wine and beer garden with amazing long range views of the surrounding mountains. The lot is larger than most in this part of Black Mountain and reportedly can be subdivided. The entire building and grounds have been extensively remodeled and re-landscaped with a list of updates included as an attachment in the brochure. Access to the foundation/crawl space is convenient and makes an addition of plumbing such as a new bathroom on the main floor feasible. The outdoor space has been beautifully redone with stone patios, composite decking, front and rear fencing, and an amazing covered front porch which can be enclosed if needed. This is currently the location of a retail/food service establishment and would require renovations and permitting to be brought back to a single family use.
