The view is immediate—and unforgettable. From the moment you step inside, downtown Asheville unfolds below you, framed by layers of Blue Ridge Mountains that shift with the light from sunrise to sunset. Designed by noted architect Bill Ashe to live in harmony with its setting, this home captures the panorama from nearly every room, filling the interiors with natural light and an ever-present sense of place. In the main living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living and dining rooms create a dramatic backdrop—blurring the line between indoors and out while seamlessly connecting to the open kitchen for effortless everyday living and entertaining. Expansive covered and open-air terraces extend the experience outdoors—perfect for morning coffee above the city, golden-hour gatherings, and evenings under a painted mountain sky. The main level offers true ease of living with a bright, open floor plan anchored by a spacious kitchen featuring a gas range, generous prep space, and a peaceful view over the landscaped gardens. A butler’s pantry and dedicated kitchen office add thoughtful functionality without compromising flow. The primary suite is a private sanctuary on the main level, opening to its own deck and offering two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath—where even the soaking tub is positioned to take in the mountain backdrop. A richly appointed library or media room with custom built-ins, a garden-access office, and a large laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, two bedrooms, an office with built-ins, and a generous family room provide comfortable separation for guests, while additional flexible space adapts easily to your needs. Set on a private, beautifully maintained homesite, the level fenced garden, greenhouse, and ideal southern exposure create a rare combination of usability and beauty—enhanced by solar power for modern efficiency. A large two-car garage with a third bay accommodates a sports car, a golf cart, or recreational gear, and offers convenient access to the main level. All of this, just minutes from downtown Asheville—yet a world apart. A home defined not just by its views, but by how it makes you feel living in it.
