Encompassing 4.67 acres of pristine, wooded grounds, this extraordinary Georgian estate unfolds as a private sanctuary of beauty and scale in the storied heart of Biltmore Forest. Towering hardwoods, mature landscaping, and sweeping lawns create a rare sense of seclusion and permanence, an estate setting of remarkable depth and tranquility, where nature and architecture exist in elegant harmony. Designed in 1929 by acclaimed Asheville architect Erle Stillwell, the residence stands as a masterwork of classical Georgian design and enduring craftsmanship. The stately brick façade, proportioned and rich with classical detailing, offers a timeless first impression, an architectural presence that speaks quietly yet confidently to its heritage. Inside, the home reveals interiors of uncommon refinement. Soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork and graciously scaled rooms are bathed in natural light, creating an atmosphere that is grand and inviting. Formal and informal spaces flow with symmetry and ease, honoring historic artistry while remaining beautifully suited for modern living. A magnificent formal dining room, illuminated by mullioned windows and crowned by a shimmering Waterford chandelier, provides an unforgettable setting for elegant gatherings. Multiple living and sitting rooms, each anchored by handcrafted fireplaces, offer spaces for conversation, music and quiet reflection. The private quarters are equally impressive. The main residence features nine generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its character and sense of presence. Above the garage, refined guest accommodations include three additional bedrooms, ideal for extended stays, caretakers, or multigenerational living, all while preserving privacy. Outdoors, winding drives, shaded paths, and expansive lawns invite leisurely exploration and gracious entertaining. In Biltmore Forest, a community defined by legacy and distinction, this estate is more than a residence, it is a generational offering. With its architectural pedigree, exceptional acreage,and rare sense of place, it stands as a lasting symbol of elegance, heritage and enduring refinement in one of Asheville’s revered enclaves.

In North Asheville’s cherished Lakeview Park, just one block from the Country Club of Asheville, an English Tudor manor from 1924 rises with the grace of a story passed down through generations. Its turreted façade greets you first, cast-stone details catch the afternoon light, and the steep slate roof lends the home a noble silhouette against the sky. Local lore whispers that the original owner carried memories of Anne Boleyn’s childhood home—England’s storied Hever Castle—and wove those impressions into the design. A recent seven-figure restoration has breathed new life into this historic manor, expanding and polishing nearly 4,500 square feet of living space while preserving the soul that has made it beloved for more than 100 years. Inside, the story continues. The front door opens to a welcoming foyer where sunlight spills across gleaming hardwood floors. To one side, the grand living room invites guests to gather around its fireplace, its warmth drifting into the charming under-stair nook—purposefully designed as a cozy retreat for loyal companions. To the other, the formal dining room glows with transomed windows, filling the space with natural light. Just beyond, the turreted den offers a peaceful perch for reading, dreaming, or simply watching the leaves shift gently outside. The kitchen—the true heart of the home—blends craftsmanship and creativity. Custom wood cabinetry complements a sprawling granite island, premium appliances, a built-in cappuccino maker, pot filler, and double commercial range stand ready for feasts large and small. From here, the home opens grandly into a hall-style family room with soaring coffered ceilings over ten feet tall. Sunlight pours through 8' patio doors and tall windows, illuminating the floor-to-ceiling fireplace. On cool evenings, this room glows with the soft flicker of firelight—an irresistible gathering place. A butler’s pantry/scullery lies just beyond, lined with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, apron-front sink, and double wine stewards—ideal for celebrations and quiet evenings alike. Five bedrooms unfold across the home, including two restful primary suites. Each room is generously sized, while the 4.5 baths—three with heated floors—offer serene spaces that feel comforting in every season. Above, the massive walk-up attic with 11'+ peaked ceilings holds endless potential. Below, the walk-out lower-level apartment offers its own sense of retreat with a full kitchen, living area, sitting/wine room, bedroom, and spa bath with heated floors. Yet, for all the beauty inside, the outdoors feels equally enchanting. The grounds have been transformed into a series of outdoor living spaces that reveal themselves one by one—like stepping through chapters of a garden story. Lush landscaping is accented by soft landscape lighting. Two new paver and river-rock driveways guide you home. A newly completed 24' x 15' pavilion stands proudly at the heart of the outdoor world, its floor-to-ceiling fireplace inviting lingering conversation deep into the evening. A raised outdoor kitchen—with premium grill, dual-fuel pizza oven, triple-tap kegerator, built-in ice chest, and composite decking—waits for long summer nights and crisp autumn afternoons. A floating deck leads to a shaded and peaceful koi pond and second-tier patio provides a perfect place for stargazing. Throughout the home, modern comforts work quietly behind the scenes—new HVAC with whole-house humidifier, tankless water heater, updated electrical and plumbing, encapsulated basement, new stucco, new paint, and handcrafted stonework too extensive to list. The iconic slate roof and steel casement windows remain, anchoring the home firmly in its cherished past. Just five minutes from Downtown Asheville—where galleries, cafés, and entertainment opportunities line the streets—this remarkable property enjoys shared ownership of Beaver Lake through minimal annual dues. Here, the story of the home continues, ready for its next chapter. Agent owned.
