Historic Druid Hills is where you will find this charming home built in 1948, but with many updates added over the past few years. Some of the updates include new roofs on both the main house and the "Carriage House", new energy appliances and Quartz countertops in the kitchen, new Lenox Variable Speed Heat Pump and Tankless Water Heater to mention a few. This home features black walnut flooring, built in cabinetry, gas fireplace and original tile work in bathrooms, which today would be considered retro. Located behind the home is the "Carriage House" a large heated detached garage built in 2001 with a room up above with separate entrance. This space is perfect for an office, artist studio or game room. With some modifications it could be used for an Air B&B or rental unit. Come sip your coffee or drink on the back screened porch and enjoy watching the birds and squirrels, or just enjoy the view of the flowering plants and trees. Property is conveniently located just a short distance from downtown Hendersonville, restaurants, banks and grocery stores, yet feels so private. Don't wait, this one won't last long.
