About This Property

Stately and elegant, this beautiful home is complemented by an income-producing 1742SF cottage situated at the rear of the property offering the rare combination of timeless charm and additional income potential. While presently rented as two apartments, the cottage would also make a perfect guest house or in-law quarters. This meticulously maintained home was built in the 1920’s and was designed by renowned Hendersonville architect, Earl G. Stillwell, and is featured in the book The Architecture of Earl G. Stillwell, with many of the original drawings and plans preserved in the Henderson County Library. This one-of-a kind home has remained in the same family since 1937 and has never before been offered for sale. The home blends modern updates with the character and atmosphere of its era. The main level features one bedroom with ensuite bath, additional full bath, a kitchen, dining room, living room with gas fireplace, den, and laundry room. A welcoming southern porch with beautiful columns extends the entire width of the front of the house and is the perfect place to entertain. Upstairs you’ll find the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and adjoining dressing room and sunroom. The additional bedroom on this level shares a “jack and jill” bath with the office/study. Both the dressing room and the study were originally designed as bedrooms and can still be used as such today. An alcove at the end of the hallway is the perfect area for crafts, a reading nook, or a children’s play area. Classic Red Oak hardwood flooring provides natural beauty and enduring quality throughout the residence. In addition, the plantation shutters on the main level compliment the home’s décor. There is a whole house Generac generator, a full unfinished basement, and a full attic for valuable storage. Outside you will find a tranquil garden with a sitting area just beyond the arbor. There is a 4-car carport connected to the brick cottage plus space for additional parking. The separate two-story, 1742 SF brick cottage behind the home features two income-producing apartments. Upstairs there is a 1BR/1BA apartment with kitchen, dining and living room. Downstairs there is a 2BR/1BA apartment with living room, kitchen and dining area. Each apartment has its own entrance and hardwood floors throughout. The property is conveniently located to downtown Hendersonville with its shops, restaurants, offices, historic buildings, the Ecusta Trail and year-round festivals. It is also close to Flat Rock where you can enjoy performances at the Flat Rock Playhouse, visit the Carl Sandburg Home and explore local shops, restaurants and art galleries.
