Located on a low mountain between downtown and Tunnel Rd. the home is minutes from Biltmore, West Asheville, the River Arts District, and South Slope breweries. Breakfast opportunities abound, as well as a major supermarket, all less than 3 minutes from the house.
Downtown Asheville is just a 5-minute drive. You can walk over and down the mountain to town in about 25 minutes on a narrow, quiet road and then Uber home for around $7. West Asheville and the River Arts District are a 10-minute drive.
The Biltmore Estate and Biltmore village both neighbor the Kenilworth neighborhood and are just 2 miles away and about a 5-minute drive.
Windswept Drive is just up the hill offering some of the best views of the city found anywhere. There's also an access point to Beaucatcher Mtn Park, a mature forested oasis just above the city. It's accessible from the house for walkers or runners who don't mind climbing, otherwise, there's parking at the trailhead.
Lyft or Uber arrive in a few minutes and can take you most places in the city for $6 -$10. You can drive anywhere in the city in a few minutes. Downtown and Biltmore Estate are both less than 5 minutes away. There is a bus stop a short walk away.
You can walk to town in about 25 minutes. It's a beautiful walk off the mountain and into the city. I do it with my son and other parents use the road with strollers. Some guests have felt like the road is narrow and unsafe. The speed limit on the road is 25 mph and it's rare to see a car during the walk. It begins with a steep uphill and then it's downhill all the way to town.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop gas range but no oven. There is a small apartment in the lower level with it's own entrance.
