Sunset on the Attic on Main Street. Charming Hendersonville. Walkable. Off street parking

This spacious 3-room apartment is located directly on Historic Hendersonville's pedestrian friendly Main Street, with all of its attractions and amenities just outside the door. Guests love their option of parking their car in our off-street lot on the day they arrive and choosing not to touch it again until the day they leave because there's so much to keep them happy just steps from their door. The loft is a mixture of modern amenities and small town craftsmanship. This property has attracted more than 200 5-star reviews from previous guests, who love the convenience, the bed, the seclusion, and our good old southern hospitality.

Our 102-year-old building was one of the first of its kind to be constructed on Main Street in 1913. Its brick facade and distinguished arched windows rise above South Main Street and fall in the shadow of Hendersonville's original golden-domed 1905 courthouse.

The three-room apartment features heart pine flooring throughout, and each room has a bank of large windows on the western wall that showcases the setting sun. The master bedroom (with ensuite bath) has a king-sized Disney bed with a plush SpringAir mattress, 100% cotton sheets and cozy bedding, a dressing area and cable television with Roku streaming. The dining/living area features a rectangular table that comfortably seats four people and an informal sitting area. It is stocked with an electric stove along with most dishes and cookware to enjoy meals as well as a microwave, refrigerator, French press/coffee grinder, electric water kettle with temperature controls and toaster. The third room may be used as a second bedroom, with a pull-out, queen- sized sofa bed, outfitted with cotton sheets. For adults who need more mattress support, a queen sized SoundSleep/Dream Series Air Mattress with Comfort Coil Technology and Internal High Capacity Pump, with height of 19 inches, is available upon request. All bedding is provided for the queen bed. This room is also designed for use as a living room/office with a couch, side chair, and cable television/DVD player. The bathroom is adjacent to the master bedroom and features a walk-in shower. Central air-conditioning and heat provide comfort no matter what the season. Off-street parking is provided.

Restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries (don't miss 7th Avenue's Underground Bakery about 8 blocks away), breweries, pubs, specialty shops, ice cream and yogurt parlors, jewelry stores, arts and crafts galleries, museums and entertainment are located right outside our door. Many of the area restaurants and pubs have live weekend entertainment.

Both Asheville and Brevard are no more than a 30-minute drive as well as the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the area's treasury of outdoor opportunities. The Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site as well as historic Flat Rock and North Carolina's State Theater, the Flat Rock Playhouse, are a 10-minute drive. Brewery and winery tours are widely available, including Sierra Nevada's east coast beer-brewing facility located about 10 miles away in Mills River.

We hope visitors will appreciate the building's handsome brick facade, representing our town's best example of butter-joint brick arches and early 20th Century craftsmanship.

Renovations of the building in 2001 helped spur the renaissance of South Main Street. Many thriving businesses now share this block with us: Brandy’s Restaurant (directly below the apartment), West First Wood Fired Pizza (considered WNC's finest), The Poe House craft beer and wine pub and coffee houses. Architect Ken Gaylord uncovered the building's graceful bones and added modern touches to create a harmonious blending of respect for the old and appreciation for modern aesthetics. A number of Gaylord's project drawings and paintings are used to add visual interest to the apartment. We hope to see you soon!
