Ellerson House is a true Craftsman Bungalow design with all original doors, windows, beams, floors & fireplaces. William R Ellerson was a businessman in Asheville and Madison County. He was a business partner with E.W. Grove - builder of Grove park Inn and the Grove Arcade. The two local giants were acquiring land to build a "Grove Park Inn 2", in Hot Springs, when Grove died in 1927. Ellerson built the house in 1920 for his new wife - who was a descendent of the founder of Hot Springs, William Nielson.
With soaring vistas, high ceilings, massive fireplaces, impeccable attention to historical details and hard wood floors, you will immediately feel pampered at Ellerson House. The great room, with plenty of space to unwind, and fully equipped, large chef's kitchen and dining table for 14, is where everyone will want to gather to enjoy their time together. But, if you need some “alone time”, there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity. There are 3 outside porches, decks, and patios for ultimate outdoor relaxation.
There is plenty to do at the house, including a full "Play Barn Game Room", separate from the house for hours of fun, with pool, ping pong, corn hole and more. The back porch has a gas grill, dining table and hot tub with views into the Pisgah National Forest The expansive decks & porches are just off the Kitchen/Great Room & out the side door, and off the rear terrace level.
