$1.4 Million Homes in North Carolina, Idaho and Connecticut

Biltmore Forest, N.C. | $1.4 Million

A 1927 Tudor Revival cottage with one bedroom and two bathrooms, on a 0.3-acre lot

This house is known as the Silversmith Cottage, a reference to the architect and silversmith who designed and once owned it: William Waldo Dodge, who worked extensively in Asheville in the 1920s and 1930s, and was influenced by Arts and Crafts style and the area’s mountainous landscape. It is part of a community of homes — several listed on the National Register of Historic Places — built on land that once belonged to the Biltmore estate.

The property is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Asheville and 20 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport. Charlotte is two and a half hours away. Driving to Atlanta takes less than four hours.

Size: 1,439 square feet

Price per square foot: $973

Indoors: A stone path winds across the lawn, leading to a wood door that opens into the living room. This space has hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, stucco walls, hand-hewed ceiling beams and a dining alcove surrounded by arched, mullioned windows overlooking the manicured hedges outside.

Beyond is a large kitchen with original windows and brick walls; Calacatta marble counters; stainless steel appliances from Viking and U-Line; a counter-height fireplace topped by a stone mantel; and a wood door framed by hand-hewed beams that opens to the side yard.

Between the kitchen and the living room is a stair hall with a hand-carved wood staircase and access to a bathroom with an oversized walk-in shower that has brick walls.

The stairs continue up to the bedroom and primary bathroom on the second floor. The spacious bedroom has a chandelier, a wood-burning fireplace and a separate sitting area; the bathroom has a deep soaking tub and a vanity with a basin-style sink.
