Attention investors!!! This Tryon Bungalow is priced to sell!!! The previous owner had made a fair amount of repairs and improvements, but it is up to the new owner to finish the rest. The original hardwood floors are in several rooms in the house, and the kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom have tile. The kitchen cabinets and countertops were replaced and the bathroom is updated. The laundry room has a natural gas hot water heater and there is a connection for a stackable washer and dryer. There is an extensive covered front porch and deck. The pricing reflects the lack of a functioning HVAC system which will need to be installed by the new owner as well as additional repairs and updates that were not completed. The high crawl area of the house on the left side appears to have once been used as living area at one time, but is currently completely stripped down to the ground. The remaining crawlspace has had a lot of work done to it. The guest bedroom and laundry room are on a slab and are finished, but there is no venting in place. Note that the Seller is offering reliable financing options for real estate investors. Fix & Flip and DSCR financing is available with competitive rates and a streamlined process to help qualified investors move quickly!

1 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 4402123 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status
Tucked along a peaceful creek and just a short walk from downtown Tryon, this little cottage offers an appealing setting and the opportunity for a fresh start. Offered at $115,000, the one-bedroom, one-bath home measures less than 500 square feet, with the sound of flowing water and the charm of a small-town location adding to its possibilities. The home features a metal roof, an outbuilding, and creek frontage. While the property was temporarily off the market, a storm brought down trees that damaged the carport. The fallen trees, debris, and carport have since been removed. The cottage needs substantial renovation, beginning with extensive cleaning and repairs. The rear deck is unsafe and should not be accessed. Buyers should evaluate the condition and scope of work with qualified professionals. For someone with vision and a willingness to take on a project, the setting offers plenty of inspiration. Imagine a cozy weekend retreat, a welcoming space for creative pursuits, or a small home that makes the most of its creekside surroundings. Rental use may also be a possibility. With downtown shops, restaurants, and galleries nearby, this property brings together a natural setting and convenient access to the Tryon lifestyle. Its next chapter will take work, but there is an opportunity here to create something uniquely your own. The city sewer line does run through the property and there is a manhole in the yard to the left of the house.

3 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 4385519 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE UNDER CONTRACT Status
Tucked away at the end of First Street just moments from the heart of downtown Tryon, this rare 1.07-acre property offers an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity to create something special in one of Tryon’s most desirable close-in settings. The wooded site rises gently above town and may offer the potential for mountain views with selective clearing. Restaurants, galleries, shops, and performance venues are all just minutes away, yet the setting feels private and secluded among mature trees and established landscaping. The property includes a 1930s cottage in largely original condition with significant deferred maintenance. The home may be suitable for restoration as a guest cottage, artist retreat, or rental property, though many buyers may choose to remove the existing structure and build anew. This is believed to be one of the last truly exceptional undeveloped in-town acreage opportunities remaining in Tryon. Please note: sellers are conveying a 77% interest in the land and a 33% interest in the house. The owners of the remaining interests are currently unknown. Property is priced to reflect the expense, uncertainty, and legal process a purchaser may undertake to clear title through a partition action or other legal remedy. Buyers are encouraged to consult legal counsel regarding title matters prior to purchase.
