Sited on 2.65 private acres surrounded by a Smithsonian garden is this shingle style home, Boxwood Hill. The patina of age hosts today's lifestyle with aplomb. Graciously large rooms with high ceilings and light flooding in from three directions are ideal for entertaining or personal enjoyment. Located on one of the Forest's most coveted streets, the home is across the park from Carolina Day School. Greenwood Park, with its gentle stream and recreation areas is a popular spot for neighbors to gather. A short distance away is the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Biltmore Forest Country Club ( membership required.) Outdoor living is enhanced by surrounding terraces and gardens. The floor plan is flexible with a library and a family room in addition to the formal rooms. The family room features a walk-in closet and a full bath, providing the option for a primary bedroom on the main floor. Almost 1600 square feet of partially finished and unfinished areas are located on the daylight basement level. One area was a former two car garage and could easily be converted back to a garage without loss of finished square footage. The primary features a sitting area and a spacious ensuite bath. There are three guest bedrooms with two baths. If privacy, convenience and a lush garden lifestyle entrance you, this is your next home.
