Modern luxury meets small-town charm in this fully reimagined 1940s cottage. Renovated in 2022, the home features a showpiece chef’s kitchen with quartz surfaces, custom cabinetry, induction cooking, a wall oven with air-fry, and a bright breakfast nook. An open, elevated layout flows into designer baths, refinished red oak floors, new siding with cedar accents, a 2021 roof, and a sleek new carport and fencing. Updated systems—PEX plumbing, electrical, and mini-split HVAC—deliver turnkey comfort. The home sits on a multifamily-zoned lot, offering rare flexibility for expansion or future development. Lush four-season landscaping includes 40+ native plantings. The property also includes a separately deeded 0.34-acre parcel zoned for general business—perfect for a studio, shop, or additional build. Just a short sidewalk stroll to downtown Tryon and steps from the upcoming Saluda Grade Rail Trail, this home blends luxury living with effortless walkability and a serene streamside setting. One owner is a licensed NC/SC agent.
