Property Description
A masterwork of Georgian Revival elegance, this distinguished Biltmore Forest estate is a rare Asheville treasure of enduring beauty and provenance. Set on 3.32 acres near the Cedarcliff Gate of the Biltmore Estate, the residence was designed in 1927 by renowned Beaux-Arts architect William Lawrence Bottomley, one of his few Southern projects and a testament to his mastery of scale, proportion and grace. The classic brick façade opens to interiors rich with preserved historic detail, including quarter-sawn oak herringbone floors, leaded glass, original moldings and star-shaped light fixtures. Gracious formal rooms with wood-burning fireplaces flow with balance and symmetry. The restored living room opens through French doors to the gardens, while a cozy library with original bookcases offers an intimate retreat. A thoughtfully reimagined butler’s pantry preserves historic integrity while supporting modern living. The kitchen blends charm and function with granite countertops, double islands, upgraded appliances, and seamless flow to the family room and rear patio. Upstairs, the original layout has been transformed into generous suites, including a primary wing added in 1984, with additional guest quarters above the garage. Thoughtful updates such as slate roof, generator, HVAC zones and restored hardwoods ensure comfort without compromise. The grounds complete the offering with formal gardens, open lawns, a fish pond, woodland paths and refined landscape lighting.
