Perched atop coveted Sunset Mountain, this is one of Asheville's most spectacular vantage points, where endless Blue Ridge vistas and unforgettable sunsets become part of everyday life.
There are exceptional homes. There are exceptional views. And on the rarest occasions, they come together in one extraordinary address.
Welcome to 12 Sunset Summit—a completely rebuilt contemporary residence where architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony. Rebuilt in 2021, the nearly 5,000-square-foot home was thoughtfully designed to showcase breathtaking, year-round mountain views from nearly every room through expansive walls of glass and light-filled living spaces.
The open floor plan flows effortlessly from the chef's kitchen with a generous island and walk-in pantry to the living and dining areas, all anchored by a gas fireplace and framed by the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains. The luxurious primary suite, private office, and inviting living spaces combine sophisticated design with everyday comfort.
The rooftop terrace offers a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets, while the lower level provides exceptional space for family and guests with a family room, recreation room, wet bar, two guest suites, and covered outdoor living surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and stone terraces.
Just minutes from downtown Asheville, this remarkable home offers a combination rarely found: one of the city's finest mountain views, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unrivaled location.
Watch the video and virtual tour to experience the views that make 12 Sunset Summit truly unforgettable.
