Zuber Wallpaper at 407 Vanderbilt Road

407 Vanderbilt Road, Asheville
MLS#4363302
12 Bedrooms, 8/1 Baths
9,167 SqFt.
4.67 Acres
🏠❤️From: @tom_felton_architect
https://bit.ly/tomfeltonvanderbilt
"Let’s do some math, shall we? 4.67 Acres + 7,900 square feet + 12 Bedrooms + Borders the Biltmore Forest Country Club + designed in the 1920s by renown architect Erle Stillwell = one fabulous house. It is for sale for $3.7M, see listing from @preferred_properties I had the pleasure of touring this property with designer @aurelia.nidum soaking in the Zuber wallpaper and dreaming of how this home would be carefully renewed. The house is beautifully maintained and has the majority of its original features: windows, hardware, plumbing fittings, slate roof, etc. To build this today would easily run North of $10M. It does need some updates, but roughly $1.5M would make it simply spectacular. So, that’s a savings of $5M and already included is a plethora of priceless elegant patina."
