My Sister's House is a revitalized 1949 cottage within walking distance of Downtown Greensboro and Cone Hospital. Two bedrooms, one bath with side by side front loading washer and dryer in the kitchen. Off-street parking in back, TV (no cable - on purpose) with internet utilities, central heat and air, hot water heater, linens and cooking tools are all provided. This space was created as an outlet for the love we have for our sisters both blood-related and from another mother.
Sisters is a small cottage-style home in Idlewood neighborhood within close proximity and pedestrian-friendly to downtown Greensboro NC, Cone Hospital, Mid-town, Latham Park, and many urban trails. Everything in this home has been revitalized with new fixtures and cabinetry. The backyard is fenced and has a large concrete patio that looks into a large backyard with mature trees. Each of the bedrooms has a ceiling fan, a TV with smart features, a closet, a queen bed with a bedframe, a memory foam mattress, and 100% cotton sheets. The bath has a rain-head shower as well as a handheld shower. The kitchen has stainless appliances with a Kitchen Aid Range and dishwasher.
Sisters has a small basement apartment that is currently being revitalized and will be accepting guests in mid to late 2024, tbd.
We live up the street in the brick house on the corner of Grayland and Wendover. We love to meet our guests but occasionally don't cross paths.
Idlewood neighborhood is also known as Mid-town. The Greenway and Urban Trail system are in close proximity.

Or, walk to the path a few hundred feet further that is between Battleground Ave and Smith St. This house is less than five minutes drive from Cone Hospital, downtown, and a ton of great places to eat or chill with friends.
