1 Linden  Street, Arden
$399,000
3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 4345074 MLS
There’s just something about a 1950s cottage. Plaster walls. Warm wood floors. At One Linden, days tend to unfold easily. You come home from a walk or a hike, drop your bag, kick off your shoes. Light shifts through the living room as the afternoon settles, the fireplace anchoring the space as the day drifts toward evening. Dinner comes together without fuss. Doors open to the back deck. Something on the grill. A pause before night. The layout flows in a way that makes sense. Spaces connect without crowding. The living room invites both conversation and quiet, reading by the window, stretching out on the couch, letting the day slow down. The kitchen and dining area keep things moving naturally, whether it’s a quick breakfast before heading out or a meal that lingers a little longer. The primary suite sits slightly apart, a step down and a breath away, offering a sense of retreat at the end of the day. Morning light filters in. Evenings feel settled. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for work, guests, or simply space to spread out. Out back, the yard becomes part of the rhythm. Tend a garden, string up a hammock, sink into a book, or just enjoy the quiet. The detached two-car garage holds bikes, fishing gear, tools, and muddy boots. Load up for a river run or a waterfall drive, then come home and let the pace ease again. Set on a rare double corner lot in Royal Pines, between Hendersonville Road and Sweeten Creek, the location makes it easy to head out when you want to and settle in when you don’t.
