Property Description
Built in 1895 and beautifully restored, this exceptional Waynesville home is the kind of property that feels almost impossible to recreate today. Set on nearly 2.5 acres just minutes from Main Street, it offers a rare combination of privacy, character, usable outdoor space and in-town convenience. Estate-like columns frame the covered porch and a wraparound terrace, while a large rear deck creates even more space to gather, entertain or simply enjoy the setting. Inside, rich hardwood floors, glass doorknobs, detailed trim and warm wood-paneled living spaces give the home a character all its own. The renovated kitchen opens to a light-filled dining room, while the beautifully updated bathroom pairs a restored clawfoot tub with a spacious walk-in shower, blending historic charm with modern comfort. With 4 bedrooms plus 2 additional bonus rooms, there is flexibility for guest rooms, office space, an art studio, a nursery, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Major improvements completed from 2020–2022 include the roof, HVAC, electrical upgrades, extensive plumbing work, replacement of the main water line from the house to the street and the addition of natural gas. Outside, the grounds are every bit as memorable, with apple trees, a prolific pear tree, a large fig tree, 5 blueberry bushes, a scuppernong vine and a charming historic outbuilding perfect for a workshop or hobby space. A remote-operated solar gate added in 2025 completes this truly special downtown retreat. Rarely does a property offer this much land, history, personality and possibility so close to the heart of Waynesville.
