About this home

A Landmark Lynchburg Estate. A rare opportunity to own one of Lynchburg’s most distinguished residences. Designed by architect Pen Clarke and built in 1936 by C. L. Lewis, this exceptional neoclassical home reflects enduring design and exceptional workmanship. Set on six acres, the grounds were designed by landscape architect Charles Gillette, creating a private retreat just minutes from every convenience. The refined architecture reveals a full-façade porch, elegant entablature, slate roof and curved portico leading to a two-car garage. Inside, exquisite millwork and gracious proportions define this home. The foyer features Zuber wallpaper that frames the grand staircase and opens to the striking living room and dining room. Five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, lovely primary suite, four fireplaces, handsome study, renovated kitchen opening to a butler’s pantry, breakfast room and family den, spacious game room, and two laundry rooms providing modern comfort with historic character. That character extends seamlessly outdoors with an elegant, covered porch, stone patios, expansive lawn, graceful gardens, saltwater pool/pool house, and stone fireplace nestled in the woods. Private. Timeless. Perfectly positioned in Lynchburg.
