About This Property

Rare opportunity to step into a home perfectly set up for urban homesteaders! Gorgeous, well-maintained Colonial is located mere seconds from downtown Tryon. Natural light pours through the windows, many of which have custom wood shutters. Expansive living room with warm hardwood floors, wood stove insert, and beautiful mantel. The living room flows into the dining area, which is adjacent to the well-designed galley kitchen. The private owner's suite is quietly situated away from the living areas. The owner's suite includes a walk-in closet, small linen closet, en-suite bathroom, and bedroom which opens into the screened porch. The second and third bedrooms each have their own sitting rooms, which could also be used as offices, libraries, or music rooms. A Jack & Jill bathroom connects these two bedrooms. Solar panels provide the majority of the electricity - any excess is sold back to Duke. Sellers were very energy efficient, utilizing the wood stove in the winter, ceiling fans, and enjoying the cool downstairs lounge area during the summer. Last year's electric bills only totaled $321.36 for the YEAR! The natural gas bill was only $477.74 for the year! Lush front planting beds are filled with perennials with stone and brick-lined walkways. The fenced back yard contains a fenced garden with 7 raised beds, blueberry bushes, and blackberry vines. Two large rain barrels provide water for the plants, and an additional town water faucet is available, too. The perfect compost system is cleverly tucked away behind the garden!
