Priceless in Design. Timeless in Beauty. Some homes simply cannot be recreated.
Carefully positioned across two beautifully situated lots totaling 1.27 acres on Sunset Mountain, 65 Crestwood Road is one of them—a residence where architecture, craftsmanship, setting, and nearly fifty years of thoughtful stewardship come together.
Designed by architect Jan Wiegman and constructed by Abbott Construction in 1971, this four-bedroom, four-bath residence was created to embrace its extraordinary mountain setting. Expansive windows capture sweeping views of downtown Asheville, the surrounding mountains, and unforgettable western sunsets, while terraces and porches extend the living spaces naturally outdoors.
The grounds are equally exceptional. Mature perennial gardens and meandering walking paths create a private landscape that has evolved and been carefully maintained over decades—a setting that would be extraordinarily difficult to reproduce today.
Inside, natural materials, enduring craftsmanship, generous living spaces, and a remarkable relationship between the house and its surroundings give the residence a sense of warmth, permanence, and authenticity with perennial gardens, walking paths, city and mountain views.
Priceless in its design, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stewarded, 65 Crestwood Road is more than a home—it is an irreplaceable piece of Sunset Mountain, ready for its next chapter.
