Description

Rare opportunity to step into a home perfectly set up for urban homesteaders! Gorgeous, well-maintained Colonial is located mere seconds from downtown Tryon. Natural light pours through the windows, many of which have custom wood shutters. Expansive living room with warm hardwood floors, wood stove insert, and beautiful mantel. The living room flows into the dining area, which is adjacent to the well-designed galley kitchen. The private owner's suite is quietly situated away from the living areas. The owner's suite includes a walk-in closet, small linen closet, en-suite bathroom, and bedroom which opens into the screened porch. The second and third bedrooms each have their own sitting rooms, which could also be used as offices, libraries, or music rooms. A Jack & Jill bathroom connects these two bedrooms. Solar panels provide the majority of the electricity - any excess is sold back to Duke. Sellers were very energy efficient, utilizing the wood stove in the winter, ceiling fans, and enjoying the cool downstairs lounge area during the summer. Last year's electric bills only totaled $321.36 for the YEAR! The natural gas bill was only $477.74 for the year! Lush front planting beds are filled with perennials with stone and brick-lined walkways. The fenced back yard contains a fenced garden with 7 raised beds, blueberry bushes, and blackberry vines. Two large rain barrels provide water for the plants, and an additional town water faucet is available, too. The perfect compost system is cleverly tucked away behind the garden!

    "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."
