About this home
BACK ON THE MARKET NO FAULT OF SELLER. Well loved by the same owner for 28 years, this inviting 1950s cottage pairs original charm with thoughtful updates. Tucked away in a quiet area of Druid Hills, within walking/biking distance of downtown Hendersonville and the Ecusta Trail. Pine floors, pine wood walls and wood ceilings create warmth and character, while large windows and six sun tunnels bring in natural light. South facing living room windows welcome warming winter sunlight deep into the cottage, creating a cozy, restful retreat. The nostalgic open kitchen retains original cabinetry and countertops, an eating bar, and a distinctive 42” electric range. Two main-level bedrooms and an office with its own exterior door offer flexibility for working from home. An updated full bath serves each level. Pull-down stairs access a walkable attic with T&G wood flooring, windows, and ample storage. The usable walkout basement offers a family room, partial kitchenette with sink, laundry, full bath and a meditation “kiva” room with light through glass block. Interior access and an exterior door to the backyard add convenience. The basement also includes an infrared sauna. Basement is unheated, just under 7' and not included in HLA. Mature trees, a grassy yard, front patio and covered rear patio complete this charming property. 2025 Mitsubishi mini splits. 2026 10' of new sewer and water lines installed from house toward road.
