The House

Here's some scoop on our vacation home.  

It's 3 bedroom (loosely) -- 2 on the top floor and one, technically in the basement; however, it's too small.  We're going to use the carriage house as a 3rd bedroom.  It has climate control and is weather-proofed, but no bathroom.  A few steps to the house and a bathroom.  Three full baths -- one on each level.  Two bathrooms are clawfoot tubs -- love the look, we'll see how showering feels :)

The house turns 100 next year.  It was fully renovated 2 years ago with lots of the original charm.  Four fireplaces, original windows in some of the house, original woodwork in some of the house, original stone, etc.  It's a registered historical home so changes are approved by the Historical Society.  

It's in a wooded neighborhood with a number of other historical homes.  1.25 mile walk and you are in the heart of Asheville.  7 minute walk to ice cream.  8 minute walk to coffee.  10 minutes to restaurants and 15 minutes to 3 supermarkets (TJs, Whole Foods and HT).  A little over a mile to The Grove Park Inn.

Neighbors are an eclectic bunch -- lots of families and that's great.  Most of our street are medical professionals -- that's a nice thing in a pandemic.  All the medical peeps are vaccinated -- also a perk.  

Asheville is a MASK WEARING town.  During tourist season, you get out-of-towners not wearing masks, but local people are compliant.  We didn't see one non-mask wearing person.  

Now for the fun.  Here are some pictures.  I don't have many interior pictures yet -- stay tuned for those once we move in.  BTW -- yesterday was awesome, exhausting in the best way.

Stay well.  Later gators.
