The residence once owned by Heath Shuler, a former NFL quarterback for the Washington Redskins (now Washington Football Team) and New Orleans Saints, is offered at $1.995 million. The French provincial estate, currently owned by Asheville portfolio manager Matthew Burril, sits on 1.68 acres in Biltmore Forest. Located at 120 Stuyvesant Road, the home is marketed exclusively by Janet Whitworth of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Asheville office. View listing details here.
The four-bedroom, four full and two half-bath estate is equal parts timeless and modern. Guests are welcomed through a grand, two-story foyer that opens to an expansive kitchen and breakfast area. While a gas fireplace creates a warm ambiance in the formal dining room, the lower level recreation area is perfect for casual entertaining — accommodating ping-pong and pool tables. Additional appointments include a gracious home office and a spacious media room. A guest suite with private entrance is housed above the garage, which includes storage for five cars. Outdoors, multiple patios and a hot tub overlook the private, well-manicured grounds.
Shuler, who played college football for University of Tennessee before being drafted by the NFL in 1994, was also a U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 11th congressional district from 2007 to 2013.
“This meticulous estate is the perfect blend of stately design and casual comfort,” said Janet Whitworth. “It will appeal to the discerning buyer who seeks a private luxury lifestyle with easy access to Asheville’s wealth of art and culture.”
