2004 Old S Carolina Avenue Welcome to a cottage with real personality! Set on a large .46-acre corner lot in the desirable Osceola Lake Park neighborhood of Hendersonville, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with a bonus room and loft is full of charm and character, and it has been thoughtfully updated. The kitchen was remodeled with new flooring, backsplash, faux hood, sink, faucet, and shelving, plus a new refrigerator and dishwasher. Other improvements include a new HVAC system, waterproof laminate flooring, a new water heater, new light fixtures, and window treatments. A new roof on the workshop building is pending, so the big-ticket items are handled. Picture your mornings: a 5-minute stroll (or 1-minute drive) to Osceola Lake, then home for coffee under the covered outdoor living area. When you're ready to get out, historic Downtown Hendersonville is about 7 minutes away, with Main Street's independent shops, restaurants, breweries, and galleries. The property itself is a sanctuary. The corner lot gives the home a sense of space, and the fully fenced backyard with mature landscaping and trees is ready for gardening, entertaining, or pets. An additional outbuilding handles tools, equipment, and seasonal storage. Then there's the studio. The nearly 800 sq ft heated and cooled detached studio/workshop is a genuine standout. Imagine a working artist's space, a woodworking or craft shop, a quiet home office, or a creative hideaway. Comfortable year-round, it has the potential to be refined into additional living quarters for guests or rental use (buyer to verify permitted use). Outdoor lovers will be in their element. Stroll the Oklawaha Greenway or Jackson Park, hike to waterfalls in DuPont State Recreational Forest, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, explore Pisgah National Forest, visit Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, pick apples at local orchards, or tour the Carl Sandburg Home in nearby Flat Rock. Quiet, quaint, and close to it all. Schedule your showing today!
