Property Description
Rare opportunity for new stewards to make a home within one of Asheville's most iconic residences. The James Madison and Leah Arcouet Chiles Estate is a timeless architectural masterpiece: a Spanish Colonial Revival designed by prominent Asheville architect Ronald Greene and created in Asheville's Kenilworth neighborhood. This landmark property is now recognized in the National Register of Historic Places and has been lovingly, extensively restored and updated. Arched doorways, a wood paneled library, striking tiled bathrooms, modern remodeled kitchen, and extensive gardens balance historic charm with modern amenities. The former carriage house is now a standalone home theatre with a bar, and the former chauffeur's quarters now houses a separate climate-controlled wine room complete with the original stone fireplace. Continue the legacy of all previous owners who have left their mark on this ever-evolving historic yet modern treasure. *All offers must be submitted by 11am Thurs. 10/7.
