About this home

Positioned to capture sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, 153 Mills Place is a timeless mountain retreat designed around the art of gathering. Blending refined architecture with warm, inviting living spaces, the home offers a rare balance of elegance, comfort and effortless indoor-outdoor living in one of Western North Carolina’s most scenic settings. A stately brick exterior and welcoming approach set the tone for interiors filled with natural light, rich hardwood floors, detailed millwork and expansive mountain vistas throughout. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining, the main level unfolds through a series of beautifully connected spaces, from the sophisticated dining room and private office to the inviting living room anchored by a fireplace and adjoining sunroom that feels immersed in the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, the spacious chef’s kitchen was designed to bring people together, offering generous gathering space, mountain views, and an easy connection to the home’s outdoor living areas. Multiple decks and porches create a seamless extension of the interior, including a screened porch designed for year-round enjoyment, an open-air entertaining deck and a private brick patio with a hot tub surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spa-inspired bath and expansive walk-in closet, while the upper level provides comfortable guest accommodations and exceptional storage. Downstairs, the home transforms into an entertainer’s dream with a large recreation and family room, custom bar area and direct access to the lower screened porch, creating the ideal setting for relaxed evenings, game days and unforgettable gatherings. Also on the lower level is a flexible fifth bedroom/bonus room and full bathroom, offering additional space for guests, a home gym, office, or recreation (4-BR septic). With long-range mountain views, sought-after main-level living, abundant entertaining spaces, and a setting that feels private and connected, 153 Mills Place embodies the elevated yet welcoming lifestyle that defines luxury mountain living near Asheville.
