OHHH! It's your lucky day! FABULOUS rental available in the heart of historic Montford, only ONE MILE to funky and fun downtown Asheville, Trader Joes/Whole Foods, UNCA, the French Broad River, and Merrimon Avenue. This home is in a peaceful and serene setting, with an AMAZING yard! A huge screened porch overlooks a 1/3 acre, with tremendous gardening opportunities, a small creek with a bridge, a play fort, partial fencing, and one of the most beautiful pink cherry trees you've ever seen! The owners will take care of the yard, you just play and relax, and enjoy all that being so close to town offers! The home has been tastefully renovated, and has 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a bright, dedicated office space. Enjoy an open floorplan, a generous kitchen with an island, walk-in closets, an oversized single garage, built in bookshelves, and a sunroom with a dozen windows! Natural gas heats the house with a newer system with 3-zones. Central Air conditioning too!
IMPORTANT! If you are interested, kindly send an application! Tell me about yourself. Who would be renting? Are you employed? What is your current housing situation? How long do you hope to stay? Do you have pets? Do you smoke? How's your credit? Do you have an online presence (LinkedIn? Facebook? website? etc.). Pets will be considered with a substantial deposit. A thorough Zillow application would be most appreciated, and the quickest and easiest way to assure a timely response.
Available no later than 11/1, possibly sooner. I'd appreciate your real email address, as most rental sites hide them.
