About this home

Beneath mature trees in the heart of Biltmore Forest, this timeless 1926 Tudor offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of one of Western North Carolina's most distinguished addresses. Rich with the craftsmanship and character that define homes of its era, the residence offers four bedrooms, three baths and approximately 2,754 square feet of living space, with deep moldings, generous proportions and a floor plan built for gracious living. The main level is designed for everyday living and entertaining, with a kitchen featuring stainless appliances and granite counters, a formal dining room, a living room anchored by a gas log fireplace, and an expansive recreation room off the back of the home with its gas fireplace, custom built-ins and sliding doors opening to the rear patio. A main-level bedroom with an updated en-suite bath adds flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a generous central landing leads to three additional bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite with a dedicated office nook and a beautifully renovated en-suite bath. Two guest bedrooms share an equally updated full bath. An upstairs stackable laundry, a second laundry area in the basement and abundant storage throughout round out the home's practical conveniences. The home's major infrastructure is in place with recent updates to the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, giving a new owner the freedom to focus entirely on cosmetic and design updates without the burden of mechanical work. On a beautifully level homesite with generous front and rear lawns framed by mature privacy landscaping, the property offers outdoor living space seldom found in the neighborhood. A detached, oversized two-car garage, an uncommon feature for a home of this vintage, provides abundant space for vehicles, storage or hobbies. Surrounded by tree-canopied, low-traffic streets and just minutes from Biltmore Village and downtown Asheville, 20 Buena Vista Road offers a rare combination of storied character, move-in-ready systems, and the opportunity to bring your vision to one of the most prestigious addresses in Western North Carolina.
