Stately. Grand. Refined. Private. A flawless Biltmore Forest Estate. Main 1 level living beckons thx to the newer addition of a primary suite/wing on the main w/: a 2020 renovated spa ambiance bath (126 sq ft), two custom walk-in closets, a laundry room par excellence, & motorized shades in the owner's bedroom. Truly, a haven. A formal living & dining room portrays classic elegance. The library w/ a gas fireplace, natural light from 2 sets of French doors, & a wall of built-ins is a dream. The current kitchen (w/ a Butler’s Pantry) is stunning. Alfresco living (on the almost 1-acre corner lot w/ mature landscaping) is easy via the library door access to the covered porch & the three sets of French doors that call for life to be enjoyed in nature on the open flagstone patio. The Upper Level offers four bedrooms (which could also serve as offices, gyms, art studios, theaters, etc.) & 2 jack-and-jill baths. This historic home in the heart of Biltmore Forest awaits~
