A Singular Opportunity on Sunset Mountain — Where Enduring Craftsmanship Meets Modern Excellence Perched on Sunset Mountain, 24 Westhaven is a 3,800+ square foot residence with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths where architecture, landscape, and the rare combination of city and long-range mountain views come together in a way that feels both grounded and quietly distinctive. Originally inspired by the organic ideals of Frank Lloyd Wright and later refined by Samsel Architects, the home has a quiet, natural design that sits comfortably in its setting and reflects the landscape around it. The design favors long horizontal lines, natural materials, and a wall of windows that keeps the layered Blue Ridge mountains and shifting light constantly in view. The atmosphere changes with the light—morning fog settling in the valleys, soft afternoon sun filling the interiors, and evening giving way to the glow of the city below. What makes this property especially rare is the contrast it offers. Downtown Asheville, with its art galleries, celebrated food scene, live music, and locally owned shops, is just minutes away—a place defined by energy, creativity, and activity. Here at the home, that energy gives way to a quieter rhythm. Cool mountain air, birdsong, mature trees, and long views create a sense of space and calm that feels far removed from the movement below. At the same time, access is remarkably easy, with a short drive up Sunset Mountain leading to a gracious circular driveway and an effortless sense of arrival. Inside, the home balances openness with warmth. Living spaces connect in a natural flow, with a wall of windows that keeps the landscape constantly present. The main level brings together the open-concept kitchen, dining area, and living room with a wood-burning fireplace, along with the primary suite, office, laundry, and everyday living functions in one seamless arrangement, creating an ease of living that is rarely found in a mountain home of this scale. Direct access from the attached double garage further enhances everyday convenience without compromising design. The lower level extends the home into a more private and flexible arrangement. Two additional bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath, offer quiet separation for guests or family. A spacious secondary living area opens directly onto a screened-in porch finished with cedar shake siding, a stone floor, and unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape, extending the experience of the home into the outdoors. This level feels more like a retreat than a lower floor—private, relaxed, and closely connected to the gardens and natural setting beyond. Outdoors, the grounds unfold in an organic rhythm rather than a formal plan, with layered plantings, stone paths, and tucked-away seating areas that invite time to slow down. It is a landscape meant to be experienced—morning coffee in filtered light, quiet afternoon shade, and evenings spent watching the valley glow below. Set within one of Asheville’s most sought-after neighborhoods, 24 Westhaven is less a statement than an experience—a home that reveals itself over time through light, landscape, and quiet detail. It offers both vantage point and sanctuary, with a sense of privacy, presence, and ease that is increasingly rare so close to the city.

Priceless in Design. Timeless in Beauty. Some homes simply cannot be recreated. Carefully positioned across two beautifully situated lots totaling 1.27 acres on Sunset Mountain, 65 Crestwood Road is one of them—a residence where architecture, craftsmanship, setting, and nearly fifty years of thoughtful stewardship come together. Designed by architect Jan Wiegman and constructed by Abbott Construction in 1971, this four-bedroom, four-bath residence was created to embrace its extraordinary mountain setting. Expansive windows capture sweeping views of downtown Asheville, the surrounding mountains, and unforgettable western sunsets, while terraces and porches extend the living spaces naturally outdoors. The grounds are equally exceptional. Mature perennial gardens and meandering walking paths create a private landscape that has evolved and been carefully maintained over decades—a setting that would be extraordinarily difficult to reproduce today. Inside, natural materials, enduring craftsmanship, generous living spaces, and a remarkable relationship between the house and its surroundings give the residence a sense of warmth, permanence, and authenticity with perennial gardens, walking paths, city and mountain views. Priceless in its design, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stewarded, 65 Crestwood Road is more than a home—it is an irreplaceable piece of Sunset Mountain, ready for its next chapter. 4 Bedrooms | 3.5 Bathrooms | Expansive Porches | Mountain & City Views | Minutes to Downtown Asheville | Legacy Property on Sunset Mountain

This might be a perfect home in the mountains for you.
