Charming Tryon Bungalow nestled at the end of a private road with no thru traffic. This lovely cozy cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and an open floor plan. You'll love the mountain view from the bay window and the old wood gives it the warm welcoming "Tryon" feel. Great place to walk whether you are joined by your dog or just like walking in a quiet peaceful environment. Much of the land around is protected by a Conservation Easement. Special location and very private.
