This charming Arts & Crafts–style cottage is a deliberate escape from the ordinary: a single‑level, move‑in ready home on a private 0.89‑acre parcel that balances cozy interiors with expansive outdoor life. Inside, the main living area features vaulted ceilings, a warm wood‑burning fireplace and bamboo floors that flow through the open plan. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and contemporary lighting; both full bathrooms were thoughtfully remodeled to modern standards.
The layout centers on two en‑suite bedrooms — each providing direct-access convenience and privacy — making the home an excellent fit for downsizers, full‑time residents who value single‑story living, or buyers seeking a lock‑and‑leave second home. Laundry is on the main level for ease of use, and the heat‑pump HVAC provides efficient year‑round comfort.
Where this property really stretches is outdoors: multiple decks step out from the living area to capture winter views and provide quiet spots for birdwatching or evening gatherings. The lot is private and sloped, offering room for a garden, outbuilding or additional parking (subject to county permitting). The absence of an HOA adds flexibility for owners who prefer to manage their own space.
Location is a standout: you're a short drive to the Ecusta Trail for walking and cycling, and roughly 4 miles to downtown Hendersonville’s shops, restaurants, galleries and seasonal events. Practical systems include a private well and septic system — note that buyers should obtain current inspections. Listed at $369,000, 1193 Brightwater Dr brings together smart updates, outdoor amenities and a quiet country feel while keeping downtown and regional recreation within easy reach.
