Experience timeless elegance in the heart of Biltmore Forest with this distinguished Georgian estate, masterfully designed in 1929 by renowned architect Erle Stillwell. Set on 4.67 private, wooded acres, this grand residence is a rare fusion of architectural symmetry, classic detailing and enduring craftsmanship. The stately brick façade, framed by mature landscaping, opens to interiors rich with history—soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork and abundant natural light create an atmosphere of refined luxury. A formal dining room adorned with mullioned windows and a dazzling Waterford chandelier sets the stage for elegant entertaining. The main residence offers nine generously proportioned bedrooms, while the guest quarters above the garage echo the home’s sophistication with three additional bedrooms. In one of Asheville’s prestigious communities, this estate is more than a home, it is a lasting legacy of grace, grandeur and distinction.
