A grand covered 65-foot long marble porch with three fans that adjoins the impressive stone patio and pool area, with its views to the tennis court, provides a tranquil setting. Invisible fence surrounds most of the property, while much of the back is enclosed by chain-link fencing.

An adjoining heated sunroom with glass ceiling and walls has outside access and doubles as a greenhouse for wintering plants. The kitchen features custom-built cabinets, granite countertops, double ovens, a 6-by-6-foot chopping block island and eating nook in a bay window overlooking a garden. The oak paneled great room showcasing two antique chandeliers from Asheville's historic Battery Park Hotel, soaring ceilings, billiards area, wet bar and large wood-burning stone fireplace that opens through to serve the immense dining room helps create a timeless sense of grandeur. An adjacent cozy den with gas fireplace and bookcases offers a quiet retreat. A 700-square-foot office upstairs ensures quiet and privacy. Custom built-ins abound throughout the house. The house, set far back from the street, overlooks a manicured lawn and lush landscaping, boasts a well thought out floor plan with the majority of living space on the main level, has oak and wormy chestnut paneling, plaster walls, hardwood floors, cedar closets, carpeted bedrooms, a simply safe alarm system, tankless water heaters while the exterior features hard concrete stucco, traditional stone work, a red tile roof, outdoor lighting, irrigation with private well, potting shed, a new 22-kilowatt Generac generator and a renovated two-car garage with new epoxy floor.
