Laura Livaudais presents
Stratford Towers is a dream estate reminiscent of a Scottish/British Country House with an enchanting history. This one-of-a-kind work of art is an English Manor designed by the architect Samuel Grant Alexander. An award-winning home (by the Asheville Preservation Society), this historically restored masterpiece is the quintessential blend of Old World craftsmanship with New World amenities. The soaring 20' ceilings in the chandeliered Reception Hall warmly welcome all who enter. The Formal Living Room gifts you with a gold gilded ceiling, a wood burning fireplace, abundant windows, and access to both terraces and verandas. The Formal Dining Room has been graced with the presence of many celebrities and politicians - including Presidents Hoover and Eisenhower. The gorgeously restored gourmet chef’s kitchen boasts Viking appliances, a very rare granite, travertine tiled floors, and a butler’s pantry. The second floor offers wonderful spaces for home offices (with views!) and also 6 bedrooms (4 with en-suite baths and 2 with wood burning fireplaces). At 8,000+ sq ft of living space, as well as a 682 sq ft carriage house above the 3-car garage, this legacy property could readily serve as a private and safe family compound. It is ideal for both grand scale entertaining as well as intimate family living. Plein air options abound thanks to the 2.89 verdant acres with terraces, verandas, stonewalled rose gardens, a grotto sanctuary, and an arbor retreat. The expansive grounds would easily accommodate both a private pool and tennis courts. Idyllically, this treasure is located in the heart of Lake View Park - a neighborhood that includes the Country Club of Asheville with a Donald Ross golf course, tennis courts, fitness center, pool and fine dining. Conveniently, it is also located just a simple 10 minutes north of downtown Asheville.
Rick Moeser, Executive Director of Christie's International Real Estate, says, "Asheville is still an undiscovered treasure but that is rapidly changing. Stratford Towers presents a rare opportunity to welcome friends and family to this beautiful corner of the world. The home is simply outstanding and a piece of art to live in and to enjoy."
