About This Property

This classic historic home, Pine Shadow Manor, was originally built in 1926 and beautifully remodeled over the last 4 years. Updates include refreshed interiors and exteriors, extra-large covered porches on the first and second levels, a freshly repaved wraparound driveway, new roof with added insulation, and all new Anderson casement windows with interior screens. The 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home sits on a quiet street less than 10 minutes from downtown Hendersonville and 5 minutes from Laurel Park. The main level features an owner’s suite with gas fireplace, large closet, and full bath with jacuzzi tub, separate walk-in shower, dual sinks, and a bidet. The main floor also offers very spacious living and dining rooms (living room with gas log fireplace), a sunroom with large Anderson sliding glass door, and a back entry mudroom with a built-in office nook and coat closet. The large kitchen includes new granite countertops and backsplashes, ample cabinet storage, and a new double sink overlooking the backyard through a huge casement window. Adjacent is a cozy breakfast area with seating for four and a large, lit double-door pantry with power inside. A nearby laundry room includes a newer washer and dryer. Upstairs are 4 additional bedrooms and 3 full baths, plus a fully finished attic with cedar closet ideal for storage or a playroom. The full-height basement offers bonus flex space with a brand-new craft room, workshop area, utility sink, root cellar, generous storage, and interior access to the single-car drive-through stone garage with two doors (in and out) under the front staircase. This home sits on approximately 6 picturesque acres with mountain views from the upper balcony, ample parking, and open yard areas ideal for gardening (owner will work with tenant to create garden space). The property has trails through wooded areas with abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, bear, and birds. The pole barn is excluded from the rental, but tenants may enjoy the full acreage. Modern systems include 5 new mini-split units on the main level plus boiler-fed baseboard heat, and a new central heat pump system plus baseboard heat upstairs. A whole-house backup generator (fed by a 1000-gallon propane tank) automatically tests weekly and is on an annual maintenance contract for added peace of mind. Home includes a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and select furniture pieces that may remain or be stored in the basement. Tenant pays electricity, internet, gas, and garbage service. Duke Energy and internet will stay in the owner’s name and be billed through to tenant. Gas is billed at a flat $150/month to spread costs across the year. The home is on well water with a new tank, hot water heater, and filtration system, and has a recently serviced septic system. Annual lease required; longer-term options available. Yard maintenance is included at no additional cost. Pets allowed with a $250 initial fee per animal.
