The finished basement offers a second living area, complete with a full bath and separate entrance, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or even a home studio or creative workspace. Beyond the property, the location shines. Living here means you’re only moments from the vibrant downtown Tryon arts and cultural scene. This historic town, known as the “Friendliest Town in the South,” has long attracted artists, musicians, and writers. Stroll through local galleries, catch live performances, or indulge in fine dining and casual bites alike—Tryon offers it all. From farm-to-table restaurants and charming cafés to wine bars, craft beer spots, and live music venues, every night out feels like a celebration. Just around the corner is Harmon Field, beloved for its scenic walking paths, river access, equestrian facilities, playgrounds, and open space for festivals and community gatherings. Outdoor enthusiasts will find even more to love with hiking and biking trails nearby.

It’s a town with a story—once a retreat for legends of the arts and today still alive with creativity, events, and small-town warmth.
