The Mettā Home- A Nugget of History and Goodwill

Summary: The Mettā Home, a 2 bedroom home built in 1895 for Irvin Hudson, an upholsterer (so fitting), & features original pine hardwood floors and vibrant colors throughout. It’s a visual representation of not what we think, how we think—the embodiment of our thoughts, philosophies and values. In a society choked by an endless stream of information and mass-production, our home should feel like a sanctuary: a harmonious space of realignment. Just steps away from some WONDERFUL culinary experiences and city views. ***In the spirit of Mettā we are taking every precaution to maintain clean & healthy home for our guests and our family. The Space: Our old home is located on a quiet block in historic Church Hill. We love our home & hope that you will too! It was built in 1895 for the son of the of Mr and Mrs Hudson, their house is right next door! The flow of the home is wonderful and gets great natural light. The entire house excluding the bathrooms, has original pine hardwood floors. We ask that you remove your shoes when coming in the house to help preserve these floors. On the first floor you have the living room, dining area with bar (wine fridge), half bath: with washer and dryer, and kitchen (gas stove, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave: in the wooden cabinet) with our favorite place just off the kitchen, the screened in back porch! We enjoy our morning coffee and watch the birds, so peaceful. Speaking of coffee, please help yourself to the coffee and all the fix'ns! On the second floor is one bedroom with a king bed: which has a king bed (with organic mattress) and a small reading porch off the bedroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed. All of our bed linens are from our newly launched Mettā Home brand! Egyptian cotton sheets, sustainable bamboo sheets, organic blankets, and linen duvet covers to name a few.
