About This Home

A rare opportunity in the heart of Hendersonville’s Historic District, this free-standing 1,440 sq ft commercial block building sits on 0.31 acres surrounded by charming historic homes and is just steps from downtown’s vibrant Main Street corridor. Built in 1961, the solid mid-century structure features 10-foot ceilings, a private restroom, and an entirely open interior offering a true blank canvas adaptable for retail, gallery, studio, workshop, office, or specialty service use. The property includes onsite parking, a fenced side and rear yard, and an additional 800 sq ft storage shed with a roll-up door for equipment or inventory. Connected to city water and sewer, the site is positioned for future growth or possible redevelopment. Zoned C-4 Commercial, it allows a broad range of uses while maintaining the charm and flexibility unique to Hendersonville’s Historic District. Free-standing commercial buildings of this size, zoning, and location are exceptionally rare—making 726 1st Avenue West a distinctive opportunity for investors, entrepreneurs, or developers seeking prime visibility and versatility in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable downtown settings.
