To Downtown Asheville Perched on the side of Arrowhead Mountain, the house has beautiful treed views from every room. An amazing natural stone wall welcomes you to a beautifully decorated living room, offset by a wood burning fireplace visible from the living and dining areas. A separate dining room, with a large 8-10 person dining table, makes you feel as though you're suspended in the trees, proving an beautiful view. Enjoy preparing meals in the fully equipped, gourmet kitchen, which includes full size, stainless steel appliances and lots of great cooking equipment. A pub table with two chairs sits at one end of the kitchen – because we know everyone loves to be in the kitchen.

A second bedroom features a cozy king bed with organic cotton mattresses and large flat screen television, and shares a full bath with a third bedroom with a twin daybed which converts to a queen bed. This third bedroom is the smallest of the four and has no dresser. A large family room is located on the lower level/walk-out basement and features a wood burning stove encased in a large brick fireplace, and 55 inch flat screen television. A perfect place for kids to watch movies and for the big kids on game days. The sofa converts to a comfortable queen bed with memory foam mattress for extra sleeping accommodations. A fourth bedroom is also on this floor with two extra long twin beds with organic cotton mattresses, which can be pushed together to make a king, as well as a large full bath with a tub/shower. All four bedrooms have wonderful tree line views. Just lie in bed and enjoy the view. The large decks are complete with a gas BBQ grill, patio chairs for lounging and two outdoor dining tables, and is completely private for the perfect place to relax while you listen to the sounds of the creek flowing through the property. Take in the view while you relax in the hot tub - it's great! \*\* No bachelor or bachelorette parties are permitted. There is a strict 10pm noise curfew.
