Description
This cozy two-story 1905 Carriage House was renovated over the last 50 years to function as a modern home while retaining historic integrity and charm (the main house burned down in the 70’s). This was my architectural design studio while I lived in the cottage next door, during the construction of my new home on the front part of the property about 8 years ago (featured in Fall 2010 Fine Homebuilding magazine).Accessed by a quiet old narrow carriage alley, within 12 min walk to our vibrant downtown, UNCA, and convenient to I-240, yet in the middle of a registered historic neighborhood of lovingly restored homes and B&B’s, huge hardwood trees, brick sidewalks and a greenway along a creek.Wood floors and windows throughout, tastefully furnished with leather couch, table for 6, W/D, fully equipped kitchen (incl utensils, pots/pans, cooktop, microwave, etc), (no DW), two sets of linens, comforters, etc., CATV, wireless internet, and all utilities included. 12mb wireless network is private, but shared with the cottage next door.The House is on two levels, with the larger master bedroom and bath (with shower) on the lower level (unfinished storage bay makes up the remainder of the ground level), with a door spilling out to the covered stone patio. Other rooms are upstairs, including a second bedroom and bath, with a clawfoot tub, the living area flowing out to a large elevated deck tucked under a mature tree canopy, surrounded by lush landscaping creating privacy and shade.The Carriage House is adjacent to my circa 1940 rental cottage (#431599)30 day minimum, unless gaps between reservations allow shorter stay, 2 week min.Also within 10 min walk to Wholefoods grocery, Trader Joes, YMCA and yoga studios. Montford has several great neighborhood restaurants, parks, and a historic cemetery. . This is a perfect place to stay while relocating.The driveway from the one-way alley is between two stone walls and is tight, so large SUV’s or trucks are discouraged, others require a little patience until you get the hang of it. Parking for three cars is shared with the cottage, so one car each unit is preferred.I live and work on the other side of a lush evergreen hedgerow, in case something needs attention.
