220 Creekside Ln, Tryon, NC 28782

Once in a while, one may chance upon a place that entreats you to stay. This wonderful, somewhat eccentric home is snug within its 9.2 acres of mixed woodland and pasture. The 2,224 square feet of living space are divided between three slightly different levels as though the house grew from the gentle lay of the land. Generous outdoor living spaces embrace it. The interior has an earthy ambiance complimented by a combination of cork, wood, and brick floors and some whimsical accents. The galley-style kitchen, dining area, and living room share a discreet openness. Two wood-fired stoves, a classic cast iron Waterford Stanley cookstove, and a Jotul in the living room augment the passive solar design. The house has a new roof and new energy-efficient windows and doors. The pastures have two run-in shelters that can accommodate two equines. There is also a 24x40 steel utility building. There are trails on the property and throughout the neighborhood. Shopping is within a 15-minute drive.
