Buchanan Construction designed this beautiful Nantucket-inspired house located in The Ramble Biltmore Forest, a community in Asheville, North Carolina that is sculpted into the woodlands of Ducker Mountain and bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway. On the exterior facade, you will find stained cedar shakes and intricate stonework with gray undertones that are paired with dark wood doors and a timber framed portico, to achieve a traditional style with a Nantucket influence.

On the interior of this 5,412-square-foot dwelling is an open-concept floorplan with a light and bright color palette that creates a sense of modernity. Each of the four bedrooms features a private bath, contributing to the functional and luxurious layout of the home. There are also two half bathrooms in this residence.

Arched entryways, coffered ceilings, floor-to-ceiling wainscoting, built-ins, and other detailed woodwork are coupled with finish selections and lighting inspired by historic English country homes for elegant authenticity. Two large outdoor living spaces feature wood-burning fireplaces.

With ample, intentionally placed windows and doors: natural light and a light color palette create a clean, light, and airy feel throughout this home. Arched entryways, floor-to-ceiling wainscoting, built-ins, and detailed woodworking anchor the airy feel with a sense of historically elegant traditionalism.

The project team utilized the influence of historic English country homes in the selection of authentically timeless finishes, fixtures, and lighting. The use of soft blue in wallpaper, decor, and textiles adds an element of soothing dimensionality. Each room in the home features a subtle theme unique to the space while contributing to the seamless, elegant design throughout.

What We Love: This Nantucket-inspired house features a calming color scheme and elegant living spaces for everyday living and entertaining. An attractive exterior facade with a peaceful forest backdrop provides a fabulous curb appeal. Inside, the open layout floor plan allows for natural light to fill the living spaces. We are especially loving the screened porch for enjoying indoor-outdoor living throughout the seasons with family and friends.
