Step back in time in this beautiful 1906 (renovated in 1946) cottage but traditional style home with 4 bedrooms and bonus room. Lovely entry into the European style kitchen through mud/laundry room. Lovely layout with plenty of room on the main floor to enjoy both inside and out in the front sunroom. Gas fireplace will be enjoyed in the Living Room just off the kitchen. Upstairs host two bedrooms with full bathroom with all rooms soaking up the sunshine. Crown molding, accent trim and beautiful stone floor in kitchen are just a few of the amazing features of this home. The large deck outback is great for grilling, entertaining or just enjoying your morning coffee while gazing out to your large back yard which offers lots of privacy to enjoy. Close to Asheville, Fletcher and Hendersonville so very convenient.
