Villa Maria**^^One of Lynchburg's Most Distinguished ResidencesPerfectly set atop an elevated knoll, Villa Maria – known affectionately by locals 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 meticulously restored by its current owners with painstaking attention to detail and stands as a testament to architectural grandeur. Original moldings, nine fireplaces, hardwood floors, mahogany doors and plasterwork were preserved or replicated, while modern amenities such as a gourmet kitchen with handcrafted cabinetry, elevator, luxury marble baths, and a 12-zone HVAC system were seamlessly integrated. The mansion features seven bedrooms, seven and a half baths, a study, gym and a widow’s walk with panoramic views. All systems were updated, including underground utilities and a Generac generator. The 1930s Charles Gillette garden was restored, complemented by new gardens, a pool, terraces and elegant ironwork. The detached 2,350-square-foot carriage house offers versatile potential and can be effortlessly transformed into an in-law suite, guest cottage, or similar retreat. Every detail reflects a reverence for the home’s history and a vision for refined modern living. Poised for its next chapter, Villa Maria remains a cherished landmark, embodying both its storied past and renewed vitality. |
