Property Description

Welcome to Azalea Cottage, a quintessential mountain retreat where mid-century charm meets the historic soul of Saluda. Nestled on a quiet knoll just steps from Main Street, this 1950s gem offers the perfect blend of cozy solitude and town convenience. Outside, exquisite rockwork, beautiful landscaping, and custom ironwork set the tone. Relax on the front porch and catch the sound of children playing at the school across the street, one of those small-town details that just makes you smile. Step inside to an inviting open layout where sunlight pours through large windows. Historic 9-foot ceilings, craftsman woodwork, solid wood doors, and breathtaking mixed hardwood floors give this cottage a warmth that's hard to put into words. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace and settle in. Two comfortable bedrooms and two full baths live larger than the footprint suggests, rustic elegance with a seamless flow that's equally suited to weekend escapes or full-time mountain living. The primary suite is essentially encapsulated in green, nestled among the trees, filled with light, and surprisingly private despite its large windows and top floor perch. The kitchen opens to a private back patio and fully fenced yard with a genuine secret garden vibe, a perfect retreat for your four-legged friends too. The unfinished basement shows off a gorgeous hand-laid stone foundation with abundant natural light, already plumbed for a bath and ready to become a workshop, artist's studio, workout or extra living space. New heat pump (2023) and new roof and gutters (2024) mean years of worry-free ownership. Whether you're searching for a private sanctuary or a standout short-term rental, Azalea Cottage is a rare chance to own a true piece of Saluda's timeless character. (Showing start March 24th)
