About This Property

Delightful Tryon Cottage – Walk to Downtown! Nestled in a quiet, private setting just a short stroll from downtown Tryon, this charming two-bedroom, two-bath home blends classic character with thoughtful modern updates. The home has a historical record of short-term rental success and is equally suited as a full-time residence or weekend retreat. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring was installed throughout in 2024, replacing the original hardwoods, and a wood-burning stove in the dining room (added in 2023) provides cozy warmth and ambiance. Modern upgrades—including a new metal roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and renovated bathrooms—ensure lasting comfort and peace of mind. Enjoy the wide covered front porch with a swing and the tranquil setting, or take advantage of the new 10x16 portable storage building added in 2025 for extra workspace or garden storage. Another exciting feature is the home’s prime location adjacent to the soon-to-be-established Rails-to-Trails pathway—a unique advantage that promises to enhance both lifestyle and property value. Two rooms feature lower ceiling heights (approximately 6’7”) that could be raised if desired. This century-old Tryon treasure is move-in ready and waiting to welcome its next owner. Please Note: Per NCREC guidelines, portions of the home have ceiling heights below 7 feet, including the bathrooms, laundry area, and portions of the second floor. These areas are noted on the floor plan and in the MLS as "Low Ceilings." The second-floor space is included in the total HLA with this disclosure.
