Retro fans - this is the one for you! RARE Lustron home, only two in Asheville. This is a post WW II cottage, steel construction with porcelain enamel covering steel tiles. Talk about sustainable! No air ducts so it's perfect for those with allergies; heated by radiant ceiling. Lustron homes are fading from American neighborhoods and it's hard to find one in the original condition, but this one has original builtins and floorplan!
