Tucked among mature trees in the heart of Tryon, this shingle-clad cottage blends classic charm with stylish updates. A brick path, screened front porch and expansive deck welcome you home. Inside, beadboard ceilings, tall windows and hardwood floors frame a cozy living room with fireplace that flows into a paneled dining area and jewel-box kitchen with farmhouse sink, brass hardware, marble-style counters and full tile backsplash. Main-level bedrooms feel serene, served by two updated baths, one with laundry. Outdoor spaces include the upper deck and a shady lower patio. The walk-out lower level offers a separate apartment with its own exterior entrance, living area, kitchen and bedroom, ideal for guests, multigenerational living or potential rental (buyer to confirm use with town), all just minutes to downtown Tryon. ** Basement apartment and square footage is accessed from an outside entrance, not an interior. The sq ft is non-contiguous.****
