Where the sky becomes your neighbor and every evening ends in a masterpiece. Perfectly perched atop Sunset Mountain, just minutes from downtown Asheville, 12 Sunset Summit is a rare offering—a modern mountain retreat with soul-stirring, horizon-to-horizon views. Renovated in 2021 with thoughtful sophistication, this home captures the whole drama of the Blue Ridge, from soft morning mist lifting over layered peaks to radiant, cinematic sunsets that ignite the sky. With 2, 538 SF on the main level, the interior unfolds in a flowing, open-plan design that fosters both connection and calm. The chef’s kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas, allowing the mountains to set the backdrop for daily life and effortless entertaining. A sleek gas fireplace anchors the main living space, adding warmth and ambiance as the light shifts across the horizon. Walls of glass draw the outdoors inward, making every room feel one with the landscape. The main level offers true comfort with a serene primary suite positioned directly toward the panorama, an inviting office, a welcoming mudroom, and a large walk-in pantry. Approximately 75% of the windows feature privacy film, enhancing comfort without diminishing the vista. Upstairs, the exceptionally rare rooftop terrace elevates outdoor living—providing ample refuge for stargazing, sunset toasts and dinners, or quiet reflection above the treetops—with unmatchable views in the City of Asheville. The finished lower level (2, 237 SF) also has fantastic views from all the rooms and extends the home with a covered outdoor living room patio, a generous family room and rec room, wet bar, and two spacious guest ensuite bedrooms with spacious walk-in closets and access to the deck — Beyond the walls, the grounds are a curated masterpiece: rare specimen plantings, terraced beds, artful hardscaping, and dramatic lighting that transforms the gardens after dusk. A home suspended between mountain and sky—intimate, sophisticated, and crafted for those who appreciate beauty in every direction.
