Description

Make sure you watch the Video/Virtual tour to see the best views and home details. VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Perched high atop Sunset Mountain, where the mountains seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon, and the lights of downtown Asheville shimmer below, 12 Sunset Summit is more than a home—it is an experience shaped by sky, light, and landscape. Just minutes from the heart of Asheville, this extraordinary mountain retreat feels worlds away, suspended between the energy of the city and the quiet majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From the moment you arrive, the view takes hold. Mornings begin with layers of mist drifting through the valleys below, while evenings unfold in spectacular fashion as the setting sun paints the mountains in gold, amber, an d deep violet. Rebuilt in 2021 with understated sophistication, the home was thoughtfully designed to honor its surroundings—where every room feels connected to the ever-changing panorama beyond the glass. The main level, spanning over 2,500 square feet, lives with an effortless sense of openness and ease. Walls of windows frame the mountains like living works of art, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, creating an atmosphere equally suited for intimate evenings or lively gatherings. A sleek gas fireplace glows softly at the center of the home, adding warmth as twilight settles across the peaks. The primary suite is its own private sanctuary, with breathtaking vistas to wake to each morning, while a welcoming office, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom add comfort and practicality to daily living. Throughout much of the home, privacy film subtly enhances the sense of retreat without ever competing with the view. And then there is the rooftop terrace—an exceptionally rare feature in Asheville and perhaps one of the city’s most unforgettable vantage points. Here, the sky feels impossibly close. Sunset dinners linger long after dusk, stars emerge above the mountains, and the city lights begin to sparkle below in every direction. The lower level continues the story, offering over 2,200 square feet of beautifully finished living space where the views remain ever-present. A covered outdoor living room invites year-round enjoyment, while a generous family room, rec room, wet bar, and two spacious guest suites with walk-in closets and deck access create a private retreat within the home. Outside, the grounds unfold like a curated garden estate. Rare specimen plantings, layered terraces, sculpted stonework, and dramatic evening lighting transform the property into something almost cinematic after dark. 12 Sunset Summit is not simply a place to live—it is a home designed for those who want to feel connected to beauty every single day. A rare perch above Asheville, where mountain, sky, and city coexist in perfect harmony.
