About this home
There are very few homes that offer the amenities of 38 Lookout- this home is a rare opportunity. The greatest gift of this property is the stunning, open view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and downtown. Two large decks expand your room to enjoy the landscape from the interior spaces. As well, this home is very close to downtown, UNCA and Merrimon's shopping and restaurant scene. The lower level has its own entrance, perfect for guests, and the garage is currently a workshop. There are so many ways to use and adapt this home. This flexibility, in addition to the view, make it an incredible value. You simply won't find what this home offers at this price point anywhere else. House is reached by private driveway so no drive-bys, please.
Year round city views from this private oasis only 1/2 mile north of downtown. Adjacent to 62 acres of hiking trails owned by UNC-A. This updated home features an open floor plan, master suite on the main level, and 3 levels of decks. Spectacular views of Asheville & surrounding mountains from all decks - the perfect place to enjoy sunrise & sunset. Property includes a 1BR in-law apartment & a 500SF workshop over the double-car garage.
