Set on 2.15 acres within the Town of Tryon, this 1921 bungalow offers a rare combination of acreage, walkability to downtown, and future trail connectivity, all with no HOA.
The home features 4 bedrooms and 2 baths across 1,671 total square feet, with 1,009 square feet on the main level and 662 square feet upstairs. Originally the home of a well-known Tryon toy maker, the property reflects the area’s artisan heritage through distinctive wood craftsmanship, including the hand-built staircase, oversized baseboards, and original hardwood floors. Abundant natural light enhances the inviting living spaces, while the flexible floor plan allows for a variety of uses, including guest accommodations or a home office.
The kitchen blends vintage character with everyday functionality, featuring glass-front cabinetry, ample counter space, a double sink, and a stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher.
Outdoor living spaces are a highlight of the property. Enjoy a covered front porch and a flagstone patio bordered by a river rock wall, with stone steps leading up to the street. A spacious three-season room spans the back of the home, overlooking the yard and wooded setting and providing additional space for relaxing or entertaining. The property offers ample parking and a peaceful setting.
Located in the Polk County School District, the home is walkable to downtown Tryon shops, theatres, galleries, dining, and is positioned to adjoin the planned Saluda Grade Trail corridor, which is expected to connect Inman, South Carolina, to Zirconia, North Carolina. This future trail access adds long-term appeal for those seeking proximity to hiking, biking, and regional outdoor recreation.
Offered at $375,000, this 4-bedroom Tryon property combines historic character, usable acreage, downtown convenience, and trail-oriented potential in a sought-after Western North Carolina setting.
