Los Flemings

Here are some exterior pictures of our new house in Asheville. We've been calling it our 'forever' house in the hopes that we won't have to move again. Although, Mame is already eying a smaller stone house a few doors up the street for our retirement home.


For those who haven't already heard the story, the house was originally built in 1950 as a one story bungalow with a basement. The previous owners, he is a general contractor, tore it down to the studs, reinforced the basement and added a second story in 2007. It is essentially a new home. In the picture above, the door in the center is the original entryway. The porch to the left is new along with the kitchen behind.




Another attraction to the particular house is that it sits on two lots, which is unusual for this older neighborhood. We actually have some yard and Sam is already plotting with Grandpa Glenn for a play set. There is also a nice terraced garden space along the south side of the house and we're getting geared up for some spring planting.


In this last picture you can get a glimpse of the exterior door into the basement. There is a guest room and full bath down there, so there is plenty of space for visitors - once we get the last of our boxes out of the way. So come on over and enjoy the mountains.
