Located just a short walk from downtown Saluda, 189 Friendly Circle offers the kind of lifestyle that is becoming harder and harder to find. Tucked away in one of Western North Carolina's most charming small towns, this thoughtfully constructed home combines low maintenance living, quality construction, and easy access to everything that makes Saluda so special. From local restaurants, coffee shops, music, and art galleries to outdoor adventures along the Green River and the upcoming Saluda Grade Rail Trail, this area continues to grow in popularity while still holding onto its relaxed mountain town feel.
Positioned in the center of Friendly Circle, the lot offers exceptional parking and accessibility with both a main driveway leading to the attached two car garage and an additional gravel driveway that extends from the front to the rear of the property. The detached garage is connected to the home by a covered breezeway, adding convenience while creating a welcoming entrance.
Constructed in 2017 with 2x6 construction and upgraded insulated backed siding, this home was built with efficiency and comfort in mind. Inside, the layout is practical and inviting with 9 foot ceilings, 3 foot wide doorways for handicap accessibility, and an abundance of natural light throughout.
One of the standout features is the sunroom, accessed through either the living room or kitchen, including a beautiful custom wood door entry. This space is the perfect spot to enjoy the changing seasons, take in nature, or simply relax with a cup of coffee and some sunshine.
The kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, an undermount sink, breakfast bar seating, and a newer microwave. Just off the kitchen, the laundry area provides additional storage with cabinetry flanking the windows, pantry shelving, and the washer and dryer remaining with the home.
The living room offers generous space for seating while still allowing room for a dining area, and the efficient layout continues into the bedrooms and baths where you will find transom windows, framed mirrors, and stand up showers with glass doors.
The garage setup is another major highlight. In addition to the two car garage, there is a workshop extension along with an insulated half bathroom complete with an on demand water heater, creating an incredibly functional space for hobbies, projects, or entertaining. Remote controlled exterior lighting at the garage adds additional security and peace of mind.
Outside, the property has been thoughtfully landscaped with mature hostas and hydrangeas, along with practical additions like a raised garden bed, 12x8 garden shed, and a composite deck with power already installed. Per seller, the Bosch HVAC system was replaced in November 2025 and the garage roof was replaced in 2024, providing peace of mind for years to come.
Whether you are looking for a full time residence, mountain getaway, or a simpler lifestyle close to nature and downtown amenities, this home offers an incredible opportunity to enjoy all that Saluda has to offer.
