Perched along a dramatic ridge north of Asheville, this award-winning modern residence captures mountain serenity through architectural mastery. As clouds drift and the sun sets behind the Blue Ridge, floor-to-ceiling glass reveals sweeping views of layered peaks and the twinkling lights of downtown Asheville. Designed by Scott Huebner of Harding Huebner Architects, the home is a striking union of strength and transparency, conceived around a single sweeping roof and floor plane that suspends an all-glass core above the rugged terrain. Steel and concrete anchor the design while enhancing its sense of weightless elegance. Set on a half-acre lot, the 3,330-square-foot home achieves remarkable openness through intelligent orientation and engineering. A cantilevered terrace extends over the slope, offering panoramic views and unforgettable sunsets. Natural materials such as unstained wood siding, locally quarried stone and regionally sourced sand, create a seamless connection to the landscape. Inside, 11-foot ceilings, expansive windows, custom walnut cabinetry, polished marble surfaces, blonde oak floors and refined neutral tones balance warmth with modern minimalism. Honored with multiple design awards, including the AIA Asheville Honor Award and national Best in American Living recognition, this residence represents an elevated expression of contemporary mountain living, where architecture, light and landscape exist in harmony.
