Description

Melrose Lane is an enchanting neighborhood, and this one-of-a-kind house fits perfectly within the unique streetscape. With its hand-split cedar shakes and steeply peaked dormers, the steep roof gives it a fairytale-like quality. Passing through the foyer to the cedar-framed post-and-beam great room, one is infused by the peaceful charisma of this unique home. The cedar frame extends beyond the main structure, creating a carport above, which is a private bedroom suite with a balcony. A Rumford-style fireplace flanked by French doors leads to an elevated brick patio with an iron railing. The kitchen incorporates a four-season sunroom with a view of the sky and surrounding mature trees. A den/music room with a fireplace and a Boston baby grand piano is neatly sequestered beyond the kitchen. Two more bedroom suites complete the main level. The basement includes an office, an artist's studio, a fully equipped woodworking shop, and ample storage space. Downtown Tryon is a short walk.
54 Melrose Ln, Tryon, NC 28782 is a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 4,480 sqft single-family home built in 1965. It last sold for $840,000 on Jan 7, 2025 (6% below the $895,000 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $842,700, with a rent estimate of $3,612/month.

    "We have a large community of horse owners. Lots of unemployed former textile workers - and beautiful hill country and a large population of retirees. Low traffic. "

    "It’s a horse community with lovely mountains and little shops and winding roads. It’s quite full of retirees and equally populated by lifetime residents. It does not take long to feel at home. "

    "This is a semi-rural area. Most homes are outside the city limits and are an acre or more. Many homes are mobile homes and the rest of one story single family dwellings. As such, most homeowners are not considered part of a community - and tend to celebrate or socialize with friends either from church or from the local horse community. "

    "Beautiful area with lots of horse farms and vintage Tryon homes. Close to town yet you feel as if you are very far away. Many homes have mountain views with ample acreage with pastures and wooded settings. I like the area so much I own a rental property in the area. I consider very desirable location."

    "Amazing schools. As a foreign service family we move often and send our kids to many schools. Polk county ranks at the top for us. Both kids are thriving here academically and socially. The town is safe and clean and our kids enjoy a level of freedom and independence unheard of these days. We love it. "

    "Lived in tryon for some time. I moved back north. Not a very friendly community. Best if you have strong ties here. People originally from around this area feel as if people moving here is not good for them. Poor economy. Businesses constantly failing. And it is true there is an alcohol problem as many people are bored and unhappy in tryon especially people under 50 or so. Not a good place for children. This town should also be red flagged as a gang stalking community. Ideal for retirees who don't go out much."
