Under the spell of peaceful Gillette Woods and tucked away on Laurel Way, this charming ranch-style home is nestled within a 1-acre beautifully gardened lot with several Japanese Maples and a spring head. It is surprisingly private and only a two-minute drive to downtown Tryon with its restaurants and shops. There are two bedrooms and two baths on the 1,625 square foot main level, including a lovely sunroom. Wood floors add warmth to this pleasant little home. The kitchen is tiled. The recently updated, 575 sq. ft. lower level has a kitchenette and a full bath. With its own outside entrance, it is an ideal place to segregate guests. This level also includes a two-car garage. Conveniently located just outside Tryon town limits, property taxes are comparatively modest.
