"Seller Says"

Gorgeous granite

The things I love about Asheville include the fact that you are so close to the mountains - surrounded by them, actually.   

There is a vibrant artsy community here, which means it's funky enough to be interesting, and not a stuffy formal town.  If you're visiting, pick up a free Mountain Express weekly tabloid newspaper.  It will list all of the special happenings for the week.    

Granite fireplace

We enjoy coffee and treats at Edna's Asheville on Merrimon. They have live music some evenings and roast their own coffee.  They're very dog friendly, especially if you have a pug.  Weekend breakfast is at Cornerstone on Tunnel Road.  It's a restaurant your grandmother would have taken you to.  I loved my grandmother.  She took me out to eat often, and so I love to eat food at places that remind me of her.   

A great date night is at Bouchon during the week when they have all-you-can-eat mussels and frites (French for French fries).  A cheap date night is Asheville Pizza and Brewing Co on Merrimon.  Movies are only $3 and they have great pizza. Noi Thai Kitchen on Merrimon is great - the owner will remind you of Fonzie on Happy Days.    

Your own guest cottage

I do most of my grocery shopping at either of the nearby Ingles grocery stores (Merrimon or Tunnel Rd).   They're both about 4 or 5 minutes away.  Ingles is a locally owned chain.  We get our Newmans Organic Dog Food at the Ingles on Tunnel Rd, they don't carry it at all of the Ingles for some reason.  They're building a Harris Teeter and a Trader Joes right across the street from each-other on Merrimon down from our dry cleaner's (Asheville Cleaners).  We highly recommend Charlotte Street Animal Hospital, the veterinarians there are top notch and treat our two dogs with lots of love and affection.  Lucy has to kiss everyone there when she goes in, and they all line up for her kisses.    

Check out the ceiling

When we bought the home originally, we knew we wanted to live in the Grove Park neighborhood.  It truly is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Asheville.  This home has a lot of historic charm.      The Asheville area is wonderful because it is go green.  Both literally and figuratively.  You're in the mountains, and there are a lot of socially conscious people living here.  They care about our community.    

There are several churches and a Jewish congregation within a few blocks of the home.  Even if you're not Catholic, you'll want to visit St. Lawrence Basilica to see the unique vaulted ceilings.        

Shining, dining experience

We enjoy hiking and picnicking along the Blue Ridge Parkway.  One favorite area to day hike is Graveyard Fields, where there are two waterfalls and wild blueberries for the picking in late July/early August.  We travel a lot and are grateful that the Asheville Regional Airport is only 20 miles from the house.  You can get anywhere from here.  But there's plenty to do here too.  On any given Friday night in the Summer, go downtown and enjoy the Drum Circle at Pritchard park.  You'll see children, teens, adults, suits, granolas, and hippies all dancing and enjoying the beat of dozens of local drummers.  It's an experience that will make you feel a better person for having participated, almost spiritual, primal.    

Fresco dining at guest home

Our neighborhood is very walkable - great for walking dogs or children or just getting out and enjoying everyone's gardens.  The park (Grove Park) is two blocks away on Charlotte Street.  Our neighborhood has a Spring and Fall get together there every year, and a community yard sale a block further at the park on Sunset Parkway at Charlotte Street.  Weaver Park is three blocks in the other direction,  where children have their softball games and birthday party picnics, and people of all ages play tennis.  There are several coffee shops and restaurants within a 6 block walking distance.  Of course, the Grove Park Inn is here too.  Your Christmas guests will want to see the Gingerbread House contest held annually at the Grove Park Inn.  Perhaps you've seen it on the Food Network?  It is truly amazing.  On the 4th of July go out on the Terrace at the Grove Park Inn and watch the fireworks over downtown.   

You can actually see them from the road in front of the house too, there are only 2 houses between this one and the Grove Park Inn.
