Hidden among the tree-lined streets of prestigious Biltmore Forest, this exceptional residence embodies the quiet elegance for which the community is renowned. Set on a beautifully landscaped, oversized homesite, the home offers an extraordinary sense of privacy and serenity while remaining just moments from Biltmore Village, The Biltmore Estate, and downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This timeless brick home pairs classic architecture with refined modern luxury. Designed for effortless main-level living, the floor plan unfolds with an easy sophistication, where every room is filled with natural light and thoughtfully connected for both intimate daily living and gracious entertaining. It is conveniently nestled just steps away from the community hiking trails. The living room is warm and inviting, anchored by a striking fireplace and opening seamlessly to an expansive patio that blurs the line between indoors and out. A gracious dining room flows into the designer kitchen, beautifully appointed with marble and quartz countertops, premium KitchenAid appliances, and separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer—creating a space as functional as it is beautiful. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, overlooking the peaceful, wooded setting and offering a luxurious spa bath with a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, and an exceptional walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms provide generous accommodations for family and guests, all thoughtfully positioned on the main level. Rarely does a home combine the prestige of a Biltmore Forest address, the ease of one-level living, an oversized private lot, the quality of a complete luxury renovation and direct access to neighborhood hiking trails. This is a home that feels both timeless and effortless—where every detail has been carefully curated and every space invites you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy one of Asheville's most coveted lifestyles.

Perched atop a quiet stretch of tree-lined Hemlock Road in Biltmore Forest is a sturdy, brick home blending traditional architecture with modern features. Inside, the Foyer area gives way to a completely renovated floor plan boasting four full bedrooms across 3,505 spacious square feet. Off of the foyer, the formal living room is graciously proportioned, ethereal with natural light pouring in, and anchored by a grand fireplace and opening to a large patio. The connecting formal dining room is equally commodious; that flows into an updated kitchen outfitted with marble and quartz countertops, KitchenAid appliances and SubZero refrigerator and freezer. The primary bedroom with a serene setting overlooking forest is the perfect retreat featuring an oversized, walk-in closet and bathroom with a soaking tub, shower and double vanities. Nothing was spared in this renovation!

This beautiful brick home offers a private setting resting on a professionally landscaped lot. There have been many updates including the roof, which was replaced seven years ago. The exterior was painted three years back. The interior was just painted three months ago, both done by professional painters. Additions to the updating include: hardwood flooring in the den, new wall oven/microwave unit, dishwasher, cooktop and ceiling fans. This large lot lends a natural look offering easy yard maintenance. In this home you will find large rooms with a flowing, easy living floor plan, all on one level. Large windows sets a cozy feel and when looking out, there is only privacy and beauty to be seen. The large back patio has more than enough room for a full backyard entertainment area. This home is really a must see and is "move-in ready". This is an estate sale, so house is being sold "AS IS".

R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Residential District encompasses most of the town’s developed residential areas and contains residential structures of historical and architectural significance in a most unique residential environment. The intent of the R-1 District is to preserve and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods and generally to provide a pleasant living environment. These neighborhoods consist of single-family owner occupied detached dwelling units placed on relatively large lots with considerable open spaces between structures, thus creating a low-density residential environment.; Nonresidential uses, including home occupations, have been limited in this District as a means of maintaining the character of these neighborhoods. Likewise, dimensional requirements pertaining to lot size, building setbacks, yard requirements, and height limitations have been established to promote the general welfare and preservation of the community.; Future construction and alteration of existing structures should be oriented at maintaining and enhancing the existing character of the residential neighborhoods. Therefore, structures should be compatible in materials, height, siting, color, texture, scale, and proportion to the other structures in the neighborhood. The R-1 District also contains undeveloped areas to provide locations for future single-family subdivisions.; Consistent with, and to protect the existing character of the neighborhoods in this District, home stays and short term rentals are not allowed.
