Property description
The Melrose, a timeless, lovingly restored historic treasure in the heart of Blue Ridge Mountains, welcomes you. This classic four-bedroom estate dates back 129 years and was one of the first homes built in Tryon. Lemuel N. Wilcox, the first owner, traveled to Tryon during a period of illness among family members, hoping to secure a better future for his family. He purchased the land in 1872 and never looked back. You will not only gain a home rich in southern culture and rooted in family love, but you will also discover that the original architectural details are equally charming. Among the appealing features are original hardwood floors, four-panel solid wood doors, plantation shutters on every window, and a floor plan that provides plenty of privacy. Modern touches include multi-zone heat and air, stainless appliances, updated electric and plumbing. With its abundance of character and charm, this home will exceed your expectations!
