Perfectly set atop an elevated knoll, Villa Maria - known affectionately as ‘The Villa’ - is a 12,000 SqFt Georgian Revival mansion, and is noted as one of Lynchburg’s most distinguished residences. Designed in 1911 by Edward Frye & Aubrey Chesterman, the estate has been meticulously restored by its current owners with painstaking attention to detail and stands as a testament to architectural grandeur. Original moldings, 9 fireplaces, HW floors, mahogany doors and plasterwork were preserved or replicated, while modern amenities such as a gourmet kitchen with handcrafted cabinetry, elevator, luxury marble BAs, and a 12-zone HVAC system were seamlessly integrated. The mansion features 7 BRs, 7.5 BAs, a study, gym & a widow’s walk with panoramic views. All systems were updated, including underground utilities & a generator. The 1930s garden was restored, complemented by new gardens, a pool, terraces and elegant ironwork. The carriage house can be effortlessly transformed into an in-law suite or guest cottage. Every detail reflects a reverence for the home's history and a vision for refined modern living. Poised for its next chapter, Villa Maria remains a cherished landmark, embodying both its storied past & renewed vitality.
