About this home

Year-round views of Mount Pisgah - 25 minutes from downtown Asheville. From the wraparound deck to the great room to both bedrooms, the long-range, south-facing views of Mount Pisgah and the ridgeline of the Blue Ridge Mountains are constant --vivid in every season. This is the kind of view that ends a search. The over 3200 square feet layout delivers two split primary suites, each with walk-in closets and fully renovated en suite baths with oversized showers - a configuration that works equally well as a primary residence, second home, or high-performing vacation rental. Fourteen-foot cathedral ceilings and an open great room keep the mountains front and center. The fully finished lower- level lives large with serious entertaining range: a recreation room with wet bar and beverage fridge, two flexible bonus rooms and a full bath. Outside, the wraparound Trex deck and covered patio below sit on a private, wooded half-acre that requires almost nothing to maintain. The 2023 renovation was comprehensive and permitted: dual-zone HVAC, full re-plumbing, whole-house water filtration, renovated bathrooms, complete lower-level build-out, fresh interior paint and new kitchen appliances throughout. Mountain properties with views of this caliber rarely come to market. Schedule your private showing today.
