Property Description
The home's classic proportions and architectural detailing reflect the refined sensibilities of early 20th-century design. A welcoming entry hall opens to a sweeping staircase, the heart of the home and a focal point of its original artistry. Tall, arched windows flood the main living spaces with natural light, highlighting the warmth of the hardwood floors and the generous scale of each room. The side porch, defined by graceful arched openings, invites quiet reflection and captures the romance of southern living in a bygone age.
Throughout, echoes of grandeur remain—the symmetry of the façade, the height of the ceilings, the flow between formal and informal rooms—all awaiting renewal. The five-bedroom, three-bath layout offers exceptional potential for reimagining, whether preserving the home's classical character or blending it seamlessly with contemporary design.
While the residence requires renovation, its value lies in the marriage of history and location. Few properties in Biltmore Forest combine such an expansive lot with original 1920s architecture, creating an extraordinary opportunity for the visionary buyer. Here, the bones of a stately home stand ready to be revived, offering the chance to restore a piece of Biltmore Forest's architectural heritage—or to reinterpret it for modern living with reverence for its past.
The surrounding grounds, generous in scale and rich with mature landscape, offer ample space for gardens, terraces, or an outdoor retreat that complements the home's gracious proportions. From the front approach to the wooded rear, the property exudes a quiet grandeur and sense of possibility rarely found in today's market.
For those who recognize the value of legacy and the beauty of transformation, this residence represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity: to breathe new life into a timeless structure, to craft a home that honors its history while embracing the future, and to do so within the enduring prestige of Biltmore Forest.
