Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: kawGIRL on July 14, 2005, 12:43:23 PM Thanks for the nice comments ;)
If anyone is interested in the area check out: http://www.franklinnc.com/ and http://www.maconnc.org/ Also my realtor is Danielle Serjan (828) 349-4700 of Unique Properties of Franklin, http://www.uniquepropertiesofnc.com/ she is from Miami and has lived in Frankin for 5 years. She is a great person and hope to continue a friendship with her. She went beyond on this deal and have noticed that most of the people up there will do the same. Also Strangers go out of there way to say Hi :D how are ya? Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: Honda328i on July 14, 2005, 12:54:06 PM Also Strangers go out of there way to say Hi :D how are ya? I know! Don't you just hate it when you try to be friendly and say "hello" to someone and they look at you like you just busted their gut? Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: tekhanto on July 14, 2005, 02:42:06 PM Really looks nice you can be sure we all are envious.
Is it up by Franklin NC you say ??? Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: kawGIRL on July 14, 2005, 02:48:37 PM Really looks nice you can be sure we all are envious. Is it up by Franklin NC you say ??? Yup, My zip code is Franklin but the township is called Burningtown there are just homes, farms, and churches, 12 miles north of the city limits, and the county is Macon. Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: Bigscrb15 on July 14, 2005, 03:26:01 PM I'd be more than happy to help out. We own a flooring store so If you need some flooring let us know and Im sure we can hook you up. Just wish I had more time off to go do stuff like that.
Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: ucfneed2ride on July 14, 2005, 05:25:24 PM That looks incredible. Casey and I are bringing the ATVs up to NC at the end of August. Ive never rode in the mountains...I cant wait. Ill have to check if where we are going is anywhere close to where you bought. Congrats on the beutiful property!!

Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: SSRancher on July 15, 2005, 09:21:12 AM It reminds me of the house we have in Canada. Looks great Suzi. And I'm with BCC on getting that still working.
Title: Re: Our Vacation in NC Post by: renmus on July 18, 2005, 04:11:06 PM Franklin is a great area. Have a couple friends in that area. Keep up with the pics. You know, Larry Csonka and some of the old Dolphins started a property developement up that way. I think they called it Csonka Estates.
