Property Description

From the moment you step through the front door, 28 Hilltop Road captivates with its warm coastal aesthetic and beautifully layered finishes, creating an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication. A dramatic whole-home renovation — completed by Preish Construction (2019–2021) — has transformed the residence into a thoughtfully crafted, designer-appointed sanctuary where architectural character and modern comfort coexist seamlessly. Walls were opened to create an expansive, flowing layout that moves effortlessly from the front entry into the primary living spaces. This open gathering environment, anchored by the spacious kitchen, forms the heart of the home and is infused with a quiet, refined ease. Wide-plank oak hardwoods establish an organic palette carried through the cabinetry, doors, and fine detailing throughout. The gourmet kitchen and breakfast area, fully open to the living room, continue the home’s relaxed, designer-inspired style. Custom reeded cabinetry by Forest Millwork introduces rich texture and depth, while the dramatic 12-foot marble island makes a striking statement and naturally gathers family and guests. A herringbone marble pattern extends across the backsplash and kitchen window wall, while a professional-grade appliance suite by Wolf and Sub-Zero completes the space. Sliding doors open to an expansive covered rear patio — an effortless extension of living space and the perfect setting for enjoying the private backyard and Western North Carolina’s four-season lifestyle. The main-level primary suite unfolds as a serene private sanctuary, distinguished by a striking wood-finished domed ceiling with beams, a travertine-encased gas fireplace, and a gracious walk-in closet. Echoing the suite’s tranquil tone, the spa-inspired bath offers a soaking tub, dual vanities, refined lighting, and a Walker Zanger-clad walk-in shower with rain showerhead. For everyday ease, the laundry room — finished with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and farmhouse sink — was thoughtfully relocated to the primary suite. The dining room adds another layer of coastal character with shiplap walls and natural ceiling beams, while a marble-encased fireplace brings refined warmth for intimate gatherings. Also on the main level, a light-filled office/den was created by re-imagining the original sunroom. Raised floors and new floor-to-ceiling windows introduce abundant light, while handsome millwork, built-ins, and a converted gas-log fireplace create an inviting and beautifully composed workspace. Upstairs are three private ensuite bedrooms, tastefully updated while preserving the original skinny-oak hardwood floors. Each offers a renovated bath with custom tile, cabinetry, and heated floors. A smaller bedroom or flexible bonus room provides additional versatility. Designed for flexibility, the finished lower level provides media, recreation, and guest living quarters with a secondary living area, bar, and fireplace. A spacious, climate-controlled gym has been created within the two-car garage, while a separate third garage bay remains intact — allowing easy conversion back to full three-car garage parking depending upon your needs. Gracefully set back on just over an acre with a circular drive approach, this residence stands as a true Biltmore Forest gem in one of Asheville’s most storied and distinctive neighborhoods.
