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.
