You might take a vacay — and stay — after seeing this home tour.

Experience postcard living at Asheville’s annual Western North Carolina Parade of Homes, October 12-13 + 19-20.

The free self-guided tour will showcase stunning new and renovated homes, including Asheville’s “Casa Bonita” home, which was just selected as the House Beautiful Whole Home 2024 (a big deal).

Built by Living Stone Design + Build — NAHB’s Custom Home Builder of the Year 2023 — Casa Bonita is just one of 33 striking homes available to tour both weekends.
