Property Description
A standout feature of the residence is the versatile, conditioned bonus space in the basement. With its own separate exterior entrance and sliding glass doors, this finished area—equipped with dedicated HVAC and a half bath—is ideal for a private home office, creative studio, or an independent guest retreat. The current owners have also prioritized the home's health and efficiency with significant "behind-the-walls" investments, including a 2022 energy overhaul with full attic air-sealing, dense-packed cellulose insulation in second-floor walls, and full crawl-space encapsulation. Professional 2024 testing confirmed excellent indoor air quality, providing total peace of mind for every level of the home.
The .41-acre property has been professionally transformed into a private native sanctuary. The backyard features a Native Pollinator Garden with over 50 species—including Echinacea, Butterfly Weed, and Pink Muhly grass—offering season-long blooms and a vital habitat for local birds and butterflies. Privacy is ensured by fast-growing Green Giant arborvitae and Skip Laurels, providing a dense evergreen screen. For a touch of whimsical play, a custom-built staircase leads to a ~16-foot slide integrated into the hillside—a unique feature for all ages to enjoy.
Adding to the long-term value of this location, the Town of Biltmore Forest is currently exploring a proposal to convert this section of the street into a permanent cul-de-sac. This potential enhancement would eliminate through-traffic and further elevate the privacy and quiet of this highly-regarded setting. Detailed information regarding this proposal can be found on the Town of Biltmore Forest website. Living at the edge of the Forest means the best of Asheville is just moments away: top-tier schools, a quick commute to Downtown, and minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the historic Biltmore Estate. 1 Ridgefield Place is a healthy, updated home offering a strategic path into a world-class neighborhood.
