Old Fort Apartment for Rent: Studio Apartment in Historic Building Near Asheville/Biltmore - Property 232554

More About the Apartment: The interior has been completely modernized and redecorated. We have salvaged the original beaded board from the ceilings & used it to decorate. A portion of the original heart pine flooring has also been restored. Although the apartment is downtown amid all the bustle (such as it is in a town with only 900 residents), the entrance is in the rear and the 13-inch thick brick walls make it quiet as can be. Apartment features & description: This is a truly unique 2 level apt. with a lot of charm! The vestibule at the rear of the building is through a french door at the top of a covered arbor style staircase. You then go through another half french door into the apartment foyer which has a desk/computer area, 3'x 8' window, plant shelves and original heart pine floor. At the top of another 4 steps is the LR/DR area.

The apt. is professionally decorated & features a 4 poster iron queen size bed with a top of the line Kingsdown brand mattress which has been built into a cozy mirrored sleeping alcove. The bedroom has a ceiling fan and small skylight. In the living/dining area we have installed a kitchen counter and cabinets, breakfast bar with stools, 2 burner stove/sink/efficiency style refrigerator unit, microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, dishes, cookware, linens, new color TV with VCR & DVD player, cable and ceiling fan. The large bathroom has a tub/shower and another skylight. There are 2 chairs and a sofa to sit on while reading or watching TV. High speed internet access is also in the apt.
