This home is beautiful; unquestionably a work of art just as advertised. The major drawbacks for me were poor insulation and no screens on the doors or windows. NC, especially Asheville, has a lot of bugs, and you are going to share this space with some of them, especially stinkbugs which are everywhere. Having no screens on the doors and windows means you can't really open them when it's nice outside because there are bees and bugs everywhere who want to come inside. I would have loved to open the windows, especially on a warm night, but I was not interested in inviting all of the outside creatures in to join me. Other than that, it's a nice private, quiet space just off the greenway, close to groceries, and convenient to downtown.
