WATER & Utilities Now Restored! Walk to Downtown & Many Neighborhood Amenities!

Water and all util/internet have now been restored to this location after Helene! (Drinking/consumption water remains under boil water as a safety precaution until fully tested and cleared).

This property is generally a 30 DAY MINIMUM stay per zoning, however, at times I will consider an occasional shorter stay and just block out the calendar for the remainder (only do per 30 day period allowed). Inquire for specific rates/info on any shorter requests.

Here is a description:
This 2 BR/1BA stand alone house sits on a quiet 1/2 acre lot in the Chestnut Hills historic area. It was originally built in the 1950's as a caretaker cottage for the 6 unit Victorian apartment house in front. It can be accessed from the main driveway to the property or directly from the private alleyway behind (shared with 4 homes - including Servanthood House meditation center - very quiet and peaceful neighbors). Since this home is free-standing, there are no other tenants above or below you - making it a quiet space, in a serene spot with large trees.

This is truly an awesome location for enjoying all that Asheville offers! The neighborhood is one of historic homes, mostly built around 1920s or earlier, with several award winning bed-and-breakfasts within a block radius. You can walk to downtown from here (about 1/2 mile away) or get an easy Uber ride. There are also several wonderful restaurants right here in the neighborhood and a full selection of grocery stores within a couple of short blocks ("Greenlife"/Whole Foods, Trader'Joe's and Harris Teeter about 1-1/2 block). Asheville YOGA Center is 2 short blocks away so it's a great place to stay for their retreats! With all that is so close-by, you don't even need your car in this location.

The home is fully furnished and comfortably decorated. Hardwood floors make for charming space and easy care. Each bedroom has a queen bed, with bed linens included. Bath has been updated with vanity and storage. Kitchen is very large with maple cabinets and full appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, disposal), and all basic dishes, utensils, pots, pans are included - as well as coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, hand mixer, blender...

The house has Central AC (not all rentals in the area have central AC due to age of homes).

Comfortable living room has a sleeper sofa and other furnishings, plus 40" tv with streaming stick (stream your own accts). There is one dedicated parking space in front of house for convenience, another space in back of house (adjacent to alley), and plenty of on-street parking in front of main house. Coin washer and dryer on premises in basement of apartment building (about 100 feet away - it's an old basement but does provide the on-site laundry option).

This is NOT set up as luxury accommodations. but as comfortable, quaint space that will make you feel like a local and live the true Asheville vibe! We do request that you respect the generally quiet atmosphere of the location and surroundings - no large or loud parties, please. No Smoking.
