Wood floors, a formal dining room, kitchen with breakfast nook and pantry, and a spacious primary suite on the main level make this home both welcoming and wonderfully livable. Step outside onto the partially covered back deck and you may find yourself wanting to stay awhile. Morning coffee among the trees. Dinner outside. An evening listening to the creek. There is a sense of peace here that is hard to describe until you experience it. The lower level offers its own private entrance, with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a generous family room with a second stone fireplace, and plenty of storage. Whether used for guests, family, creative space, exercise, a home office, or simply room to spread out, the lower level adds tremendous flexibility.

Downtown Hendersonville is approximately six miles away, with the French Broad River, Mills River, and the Ecusta Recreational Trail all closeby. This is more than a house in the woods. It is a place to breathe, slow down, and feel at home in nature. A private sanctuary on 2.26 acres, surrounded by trees, wildlife, and the sounds of the creek, with all the beauty of Western North Carolina right outside your door.
