About This Property

Nestled in one of Hendersonville’s most beloved established neighborhoods, Druid Hills, this charming historically registered home is ready for it's next chapter. Offering timeless character, walkability, and an unbeatable location, this is the kind of home buyers wait for.

The home is just a short walk to highly regarded schools, including Hendersonville Elementary School, making daily routines simple and convenient. Enjoy evening strolls and bike rides through the mature tree-lined neighborhood, or walk to downtown Hendersonville’s restaurants, coffee shops, library, gyms, parks, and entertainment. Healthcare facilities and medical offices are also just minutes away, making this location as practical as it is desirable.

Inside, the home blends historic charm with functional everyday living through an inviting open floor plan filled with warmth and character. Beautiful wood floors, high ceilings, detailed molding, and classic trim work create a timeless feel throughout the home. Natural light pours into the living spaces, enhancing the airy and welcoming atmosphere.

The home offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and private en-suite bath. One secondary bedroom is especially bright and inspiring, featuring abundant natural light along with built-in shelving and a built-in desk—perfect for a home office, creative space, reading room, or guest retreat. The partially finished upstairs attic space provides additional flexible-use space full of charm and possibility—ideal for hobbies, storage, a playroom, studio, or cozy retreat (ceiling height just below 7 ft).

Outside, the property continues to impress with established landscaping, mature Japanese maples, a tranquil pond, and a spacious yard ideal for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, or play. More storage available in the shed and large crawlspace.

Homes with this combination of character, walkability, and prime Hendersonville location rarely become available.
