About the Home & Neighborhood

The Home

Mid-Century Bones. Updated for Today. Ready for Your Style.

+

65 Crestwood Road sits on two lots high on Sunset Mountain, with views of the Blue Ridge, downtown Asheville and the western sunset. Owner-designed gardens surround the home, and recent updates, including a new roof in 2025, mean much of the work is already done. What's left is making it yours.

The house was built in 1971 by Abbott Construction for the Pearlman family and designed by architect Jan Wiegman. Wiegman was known for homes that fit the mountain rather than fight it, with plenty of light, wide views and an easy flow between inside and out. You can see that here in how the house sits on the slope and opens to the gardens.

It was built during an important period for Asheville homes. Around the same time, Erle G. Stillwell and the firm Six Associates were designing many of the region's civic, commercial and residential buildings, and a young Robert Griffin was designing houses on Sunset Mountain.

Today the home pairs that solid stone construction with updated finishes, refreshed bathrooms, new flooring and a new roof. Its open rooms and big windows give a new owner plenty of room to bring in their own style.

Sunset Mountain

Sunset Mountain is one of Asheville's most sought-after neighborhoods.

+

It's quiet, wooded and private, yet only minutes from downtown, with views of both the mountains and the city skyline.

The neighborhood took shape in the 1960s and '70s, when builders chose homesites for privacy, natural terrain and views. Families like the Pearlmans and architects like Jan Wiegman and Robert Griffin built homes meant to last, using natural stone and big windows to frame the views.

65 Crestwood Road is one of those homes. Few places offer this mix of privacy, mature trees and easy access to downtown, and that's why Sunset Mountain remains one of the most desirable addresses in Western North Carolina.
