Property Description

A superior home. A superior location. And on permanent display — one of the absolute best vantage points this entire city has to offer.
Perched atop Sunset Mountain, 12 Sunset Summit delivers a commanding year-round panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains that few properties in Asheville can rival. And the sunsets here are in a category entirely their own. Night after night, the western sky ignites in gold, amber, and deep violet directly from your home— the kind of view people drive to the mountains hoping to find, and never quite do.
All of this, just minutes from downtown Asheville.
Rebuilt in 2021 to a standard worthy of its setting, this contemporary residence spans nearly 5,000 square feet across two fully finished levels. Walls of glass, soaring sightlines, and a design centered entirely on the landscape make the mountains feel like a living part of every room.
The main level flows effortlessly from a chef’s kitchen — with an island and walk-in pantry — through dining and living spaces anchored by a gas fireplace, all opening to that extraordinary backdrop. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with those same mountain views. A home office, walk-in pantry, and mudroom keep daily life organized and elegant in equal measure. Even the powder room makes a statement — a switchable privacy windows that frames the view until the moment you want it not to, a small but telling detail about how thoughtfully this home was designed throughout.
Then there is the rooftop terrace. Sunsets unfold in full panoramic color. As evening deepens, the mountain sky above reveals a canopy of stars that is genuinely rare this close to an urban center — elevated enough to escape the light, private enough to make it yours alone. This is where mornings begin with coffee and mist drifting through the valleys, and where evenings end under a sky that reminds you exactly why you chose this place.
The lower level adds over 2,200 square feet of beautifully finished living space: a covered outdoor living room for year-round entertaining, a family room, a rec room, a wet bar, and two guest suites with walk-in closets and private deck access. Curated gardens, stone terracing, specimen plantings, and dramatic evening lighting complete an estate that is as striking after dark as it is at dawn.
There are homes with views. And then there is this one.

Make sure you watch the Video/Virtual tour to see the best views and home details. VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS.
