PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE - SAT, 4/18 (2pm - 4pm)! In North Asheville's cherished Lakeview Park, just one block from the Country Club of Asheville, an English Tudor manor rises with the grace of a story passed down through generations. Its turreted façade greets you first, cast-stone details catch the afternoon light, and the steep slate roof lends the home a noble silhouette against the sky. Local lore whispers that the original owner carried memories of Anne Boleyn's childhood home?England's storied Hever Castle?and wove those impressions into the design. A recent seven-figure restoration has expanded, updated and polished nearly 4,500 square feet of living space while preserving the home's history & architectural charm. Inside, the story continues. The front door opens to a welcoming foyer where sunlight spills across gleaming hardwood floors. To one side, the grand living room invites guests to gather around its fireplace, its warmth drifting into the charming under-stair nook?purposefully designed as a cozy retreat for loyal companions. To the other, the formal dining room glows with transomed windows, filling the space with natural light. Just beyond, the turreted den offers a peaceful spot for the perfect library, home office, or just a cozy place to watch the leaves shift gently outside. The kitchen?the true heart of the home?blends craftsmanship and creativity. Custom wood cabinetry complements a sprawling granite island, premium appliances, a built-in cappuccino maker, pot filler, and double commercial range. From here, the home opens into a hall-style family room with soaring coffered ceilings over ten feet tall. Sunlight pours through 8' patio doors and tall windows, illuminating the floor-to-ceiling fireplace. On cool evenings, this room glows with the soft flicker of firelight?an irresistible gathering place. A butler's pantry/scullery lies just beyond, lined with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, apron-front sink, and double wine stewards. Five bedrooms unfold across the home, including two restful primary suites. Each room is generously sized, while the 4.5 baths?three with heated floors?offer serene spaces that feel comforting in every season. Above, the massive walk-up attic with 11'+ peaked ceilings holds endless potential. Below, the walk-out lower-level apartment offers its own sense of retreat with a full kitchen, living area, sitting/wine room, bedroom, and spa bath with heated floors. Yet, for all the beauty inside, the outdoors feels equally enchanting. The grounds have been transformed into a series of outdoor living spaces that reveal themselves one by one?like stepping through chapters of a garden story. Lush landscaping is accented by soft landscape lighting. Two new paver and river-rock driveways guide you home. A newly completed 24' x 15' pavilion stands proudly at the heart of the outdoor world, its floor-to-ceiling fireplace inviting lingering conversation deep into the evening. A raised outdoor kitch
