689 S Trade St, Tryon, NC 28782

Description

Steeped in history and perched majestically on a hill overlooking the town, this Grande Dame of Tryon has watched over this coveted community for more than a century. Held by a single prominent family for most of its 100-year existence, this rare architectural treasure is now ready for its next chapter—and your personal touch. Set on more than 4 sprawling acres and surrounded by a natural canopy of mature trees, this property offers privacy, yet you are just seconds from the shopping, dining, arts and equestrian culture that both Tryon and Landrum have to offer.
The home’s most striking visual statement is its classic double-level front porches. The main-level entry porch offers a grand, welcoming space for guests, while the upper-level porch is screened-in creating an ideal, breeze-kissed sanctuary for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
Inside, you can truly feel the history within the walls, highlighted by rich hardwood flooring throughout much of the home and a cozy gas fireplace anchoring the living room. Unlike many historic properties, this home boasts unusually large bedrooms. There's a main level primary ensuite with sliding glass doors opening onto the back patio where there's a hot tub that is only a few years old. Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms and another full bathroom.
Recent improvements include crawlspace remediation complete with a professional vapor barrier and ventilation fans, a new water heater, updated plumbing in both showers and the kitchen sink. There's a large open outbuilding for parking cars, and yard equipment with an enclosed room for storage or workshop. Spacious parking area behind the house also makes it easy to turn cars around. Note that the large grass field to the right of the driveway along the road as you enter is part of this property. Don't miss your chance to own this unique piece of Tryon history.
