A rare jewel in the heart of Saluda. Steeped in history and radiating southern charm, this 1896 historic farmhouse offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Situated on a 1.7 acre estate, this property offers the solitude of a mountain retreat just a short walk from Historic Main Street. Step onto the expansive screened front porch and feel the stress melt away. Inside, the home evokes feelings of warmth and comfort with authentic heart pine floors, soaring ceilings, beadboard walls, a grand stone fireplace. While the character is 19th century, the systems are strictly modern with upgraded electrical and plumbing, newly renovated kitchen with premium finishes, tastefully updated bathrooms, and high speed fiber internet. The owners have meticulously maintained this residence and recently installed a separately zoned HVAC. Custom built-ins were also added to the dressing room and study for improved functionality.
This thoughtfully designed floorplan features generously sized rooms throughout, creating an open, modern feel ahead of its time. Enjoy easy one-level living on the main floor, with three spacious bedrooms and a library upstairs, along with a flexible lower level featuring a second full kitchen, bath, and workshop—ideal for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living. Outdoor living shines with a large screened porch and private back deck. Leave the car at home and stroll downtown for dining, shopping, and entertainment, with Hendersonville and Tryon just 10 minutes away and easy access to Asheville and Greenville.
