About This Home

Wake each morning to a view that feels like it was painted just for you—rolling blue ridges stretching for miles, kissed by soft mountain light. This home isn’t just a place to live, it’s a retreat for the soul, offering comfort, beauty, and a rhythm of life that feels both peaceful and inspiring. The main floor welcomes you with warmth and ease: sunlit owner’s quarters, a cheerful sunroom perfect for morning coffee, and open living and dining spaces that flow gracefully onto a wide, covered deck.

Here, laughter drifts into the mountain air as meals are shared beneath the sky. Upstairs, time seems to slow. A swinging loveseat on the deck invites you to watch the sunset linger, while inside, flexible rooms become whatever your heart desires—a cozy family den, a quiet office, or restful bedrooms for loved ones.

The third floor feels like a secret hideaway, offering endless possibilities: a whimsical game room, an inspiring studio, or a private retreat with its own outside entrance. With three levels of living, this home is made for sharing—whether with family, friends, or multiple generations who wish to be together while still keeping their own space. Life in The Views of Asheville is as enchanting as the home itself.

Neighbors feel like old friends, annual picnics bring joy and connection, and the climb up the hill rewards you with the kind of view that makes your heart skip a beat. Trails wind through the woods at Given’s Estates, and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail waits just beyond, promising adventures both quiet and grand. But some of the real treasures are the ones money can’t buy: the hush of a 30-mile view at dawn, the flutter of wild turkeys, the graceful presence of deer, or even the surprise of a black bear meandering by.

Here, every day is a reminder that the best kind of luxury is living in harmony with beauty all around you. With 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and nearly 3,900 square feet of living space, this home offers room to live, create, and dream. And when you step beyond your door, the very best of Asheville awaits.

In just minutes, you can be downtown—wandering through art galleries, savoring meals at one-of-a-kind restaurants, browsing local shops, or losing yourself in the shelves of the public library. A regional mall, the University of North Carolina Asheville, Asheville-Buncombe Technical College, and countless volunteer opportunities at ABCCM all add to the vibrant heart of the city. And yes—there’s even a Trader Joe’s.

Guests will love exploring Asheville’s charm with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, Visitor’s Bureau, and local tour companies ready to share the rich history and culture of the region. Travel is effortless too. Just eight miles south lies the Asheville Regional Airport, offering direct flights to major hubs, along with a bustling shopping area.

And yet, after all this convenience, you come home to a quiet, small-town mountain retreat—a place where the view stretches for miles and the world slows down. From here, you’re also perfectly placed for weekend adventures: Atlanta, Nashville, Charleston, and Charlotte are all just a few hours away. This is the rare combination everyone longs for: location, lifestyle, and a magnificent mountain view.

Owners just installed a new roof (9/18/25) simply because it was close to time and this would eliminate any issues for the buyers home owners insurance, otherwise the roof was just fine with no leaks. Home was also pre inspected and the owners are working through the handful of minor findings. This house is truly worry and hassle free.

Currently covered by a home warranty that could convey to buyer at closing.
