The sunroom off the downstairs bedroom offers an intimate meeting
space that is as bright as the outdoors. The grand picture window
in the breakfast alcove is another place to enjoy the pleasures
of the outdoors from the comfort of the Chestnut House
The
parlor at the head of the stairs offers you another cozy gathering
place.
Except
for the bathroom, kitchen and breakfast alcove, every room is
paneled in chestnut. Once prized by Appalachian builders for
its beauty and usefulness, these grand trees that once covered
the Blue Ridge were already in decline from the chestnut blight
when this home was built. Chestnut House is a rare opportunity
to enjoy the beauty of this once plentiful wood.
