About this home

Tucked along a peaceful creek and just a short walk from downtown Tryon, this little cottage offers an appealing setting and the opportunity for a fresh start. Offered at $115,000, the one-bedroom, one-bath home measures less than 500 square feet, with the sound of flowing water and the charm of a small-town location adding to its possibilities. The home features a metal roof, an outbuilding, and creek frontage. While the property was temporarily off the market, a storm brought down trees that damaged the carport. The fallen trees, debris, and carport have since been removed. The cottage needs substantial renovation, beginning with extensive cleaning and repairs. The rear deck is unsafe and should not be accessed. Buyers should evaluate the condition and scope of work with qualified professionals. For someone with vision and a willingness to take on a project, the setting offers plenty of inspiration. Imagine a cozy weekend retreat, a welcoming space for creative pursuits, or a small home that makes the most of its creekside surroundings. Rental use may also be a possibility. With downtown shops, restaurants, and galleries nearby, this property brings together a natural setting and convenient access to the Tryon lifestyle. Its next chapter will take work, but there is an opportunity here to create something uniquely your own. The city sewer line does run through the property and there is a manhole in the yard to the left of the house.
