Designed in 1929 by renowned Asheville architect Erle Stillwell, the estate stands as a rare testament to enduring craftsmanship and classic design. Nestled within 4.67 private, wooded acres, the home is framed by towering trees and mature landscaping, creating a sense of privacy and permanence befitting its stature. The stately brick façade, proportioned and rich in detail, hints at the refinement within. Inside, soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork, and abundant natural light shape interiors of uncommon beauty. Formal and informal spaces unfold with symmetry and grace, offering an atmosphere at once grand and inviting. Each room speaks to a bygone era of artistry, where no detail was too small to escape notice, yet the flow of the home remains suited to modern living. A formal dining room, adorned with mullioned windows and a dazzling Waterford chandelier, sets the stage for elegant entertaining. Here, celebrations of every scale unfold with ease, surrounded by timeless architectural detailing. A series of gracious living and sitting rooms provides settings for conversation, music or quiet retreat, each anchored by handcrafted fireplaces and enhanced by light streaming through large windows. The estate’s private quarters are equally impressive. The main residence offers nine generously proportioned bedrooms, each with character and presence, ensuring comfort and flexibility. The guest quarters above the garage extend the home’s sophistication with three additional bedrooms—ideal for visiting family, long-term guests or caretakers—while preserving privacy for all. Outdoors, the grounds invite exploration and reflection. Winding drives, shaded paths, and expansive lawns form a natural complement to the architecture, echoing the grandeur of Asheville’s prestigious community. The home’s placement on nearly five acres allows for seclusion and the opportunity to enjoy the property as an intimate retreat or a setting for distinguished gatherings. In Biltmore Forest, a community defined by heritage and distinction, this estate is more than a residence—it is a legacy. With its architectural pedigree, remarkable scale and rare setting, it stands as a lasting symbol of grace, grandeur and enduring refinement in one of Asheville’s treasured enclaves.
