Perfectly set atop an elevated knoll, Villa Maria - known affectionately as The Villa - is a 12,000-square-foot Georgian Revival mansion, and is noted as one of Lynchburg s most distinguished residences. Designed in 1911 by Edward Frye and Aubrey Chesterman, the estate has been lovingly restored by its current owners with painstaking attention to detail and stands as a testament to architectural grandeur. Original moldings, FPs, HW floors, mahogany doors and plasterwork were preserved or replicated, while modern amenities such as a gourmet kitchen, elevator, luxury baths, and a 12-zone HVAC system were seamlessly integrated. The mansion features 7 BRs, 7.5 BAs, a study, gym & a widow s walk with panoramic views. All systems were updated, including underground utilities & a Generac generator. The 1930s garden was restored, complemented by new gardens, a pool, terraces, elegant ironwork & carriage house. Every detail reflects a reverence for the home's history and a vision for refined living. Every detail from marble bathrooms to handcrafted cabinetry & woodwork reflects a deep respect for the home s past and a vision for modern living. Villa Maria remains a cherished landmark, reflecting both its storied past and renewed vitality.
