What first strikes you at 72 Summer Shade Court is the breadth of the lot: nearly two acres tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac inside the gated Old Orchard community. The property’s gently sloping grounds and mature tree lines create a private, park-like setting while still being part of a compact, amenity-rich neighborhood. From the driveway, the contemporary lines and hardboard exterior read clean and modern; inside, the home unfolds across two thoughtful levels and 3,352 square feet of living space.
The main level centers on a modern, well-equipped kitchen and an open living area anchored by a wood-burning stove — a warm focal point during cooler months. Built in 2019, the home delivers recent-construction conveniences: a heat pump for efficient HVAC, a covered deck off the back for quiet mornings or evening gatherings, and an attached two-car garage. Thoughtful touches include hardwood-like finishes in primary living spaces, three full bathrooms, and a layout that supports both everyday living and entertaining.
Downstairs, the finished walkout basement expands the home’s versatility: ideal for multigenerational arrangements, a media room, workshop, or home gym. With a private well and a private sewer system, utilities reflect a rural-residential setup; Duke Energy provides electric service. The property’s condition is listed as excellent, and systems are modern for a 2019 build — though buyers should note the private sewer system as part of routine maintenance planning.
Life in Old Orchard blends privacy with community. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, pool, and hot tub—amenities that make it easy to socialize without leaving the neighborhood. Yet Hendersonville’s dining, shopping, and cultural options are only a short drive away, and regional outdoor destinations such as Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park are within a 20-mile radius when you want larger-scale recreation. With comparable gated-community sales nearby and an estimated market range of $850,000–$950,000 (midpoint $900,000), this property presents a strong value for buyers seeking space, modern construction, and resort-style neighborhood amenities.
