About the home
A timeless Tryon estate blending historic craftsmanship with modern comfort on 13.77 acres.

Features include three fireplaces, a great room with stone chimney, pine floors, and a brand new heat pump. Outdoor living areas feature two patios, tiered gardens, and a pool with new liner.
