General overview
I love so many things about our home but my favorite is the recently remodeled chefs kitchen that leads out to a beautiful covered patio to enjoy the near year round weather that Charlotte is known for in an extremely walk-able neighborhood with the best little restaurants and breweries.
The space
Our house is centered around the huge kitchen with 2 bedrooms on either side with their own bathroom and the upstairs is one larger bedroom and bath along with an office. Off the kitchen is the dining and living room with huge TV and wrap around couch perfect for movie nights! on the back side of the kitchen is a walk out covered patio with ceiling fan surrounded by gardens. Our neighborhood is popular for walking, bike riding and is flanked by 2 of Charlottes well known art districts with restaurants and breweries. the is a super sweet family park one block from the house that has basketball courts, tennis, ping-pong, baseball and two playgrounds the parks host many community events! There is even a Beautiful wedding venue The Vanlandingham Estate just 2 blocks down the road.
Guest access
The main floor holds 2 bedrooms and 2 bath rooms as well as the kitchen and dining. the living room is sunk down with 2 easy steps and the back patio is also just 2 steps down creating relatively very easy access even for physical handicaps. Only one flight of stairs up is the master bedroom, bathroom and office.
Notes
We have three indoor/ outdoor rescue kitties. When are staying at our house we encourage you to keep them in the house for a day or two until they get used to you before letting them out. And when you do, let them out, we encourage you to get them in in the early afternoon so you don’t have to worry about them at night time. This is something that can be discussed and explained in more detail if you choose to stay at our house! Cats do need to be fed on a daily basis and you’ll need to make sure they have water at all times. There is a litter box tucked under the stairs that will need to be poop scooped occasionally as well.

This is the back patio directly off the kitchen. It is covered with a large fan and is extremely cozy for reading a book hanging out with a bottle of wine or having coffee in the morning.
This is the front of the house and kitty corner across the Street Is the community park. On the front porch we have two cozy chairs for early morning, coffee or late evening libations while watching the kids playing in the front yard.
Most of our travel will be just the hubby and me. However, occasionally our two adult children may join us. Our son is in the Air Force and our daughter is in New York City at an acting conservatory.
We just redid our kitchen and are quite proud of it along with our huge gas stove, large countertop to accommodate a full family and just off to the back side of it is a little breakfast nook, not pictured
The chubby black kitty with short hair is Rosie. Our three kitties are mostly indoor but are allowed outdoors with the right guests. This is something that can be discussed with us about your comfort level.
The long-haired black kitty is known as Delilah, the little Siamese kitty that we rescued from the Virgin Islands is known as Skippy.
Our house is less than 2 miles to city Center!
The entrance to this park is kitty corner from our house down about a half a block. There are playgrounds for smaller kids as well as bigger kids a baseball diamond, basketball courts, tennis courts, ping-pong, community garden and a little amphitheater that sometimes plays movies in the park on Friday nights.
There is A solo fire pit in the backyard for anyone in the cooler nights who wants to have a little bonfire
I love gardening and I’m quite proud of all of my beautiful wildflowers and gardens. Everything I do is organic so the bees are safe with me!
We have a little *casita travel trailer that I don’t normally advertise it but if you request, I can leave the keys for you and one of the kids can make that their bedroom for your stay!
