The space
Enjoy antiques, original art and photography, spacious high ceilings. The private deck is perfect for enjoying morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The home is well taken care of with all high-end comfortable furnishings, including a library. You will also find backgammon, dominos, and cards. Guests have the entire lower floor to themselves. We love our occasional nesting bluebirds, and some of our art reflects our affection.

Walk two blocks across the river to the River Arts District to dance or listen to live music at the Grey Eagle Music Hall, the Wedge Brewing Co., or eat at the well-known BBQ joint 12 Bones (Obama’s favorite). Walk towards the heart of West Asheville and grab breakfast at Taco Billys or dine at the top-rated restaurant The Admiral. Carrier Park is nearby, where you can fish, walk or run on the track, kayak, or canoe. Several kayak and canoe rentals are nearby.
