Description
Just a few blocks from the heart of downtown Tryon, this beautifully restored historic cottage combines timeless character with modern comfort on an exceptionally generous approximately one-third acre lota rarity within the town limits. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, beautifully refinished heart pine floors, abundant natural light, and a classic fireplace create warm, inviting living spaces that honor the home's historic roots. Thoughtful renovations preserve its architectural character while providing updated kitchens, baths, and systems designed for today's lifestyle. The spacious primary suite features exceptional closet space and a beautifully updated bath, while the second bedroom and bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. A dedicated laundry room, generous storage throughout, and a large rear deck overlooking the expansive backyard make everyday living as enjoyable as entertaining. The covered front porch invites morning coffee and evening conversations, while the spacious backyard provides room for gardening, recreation, pets, or simply relaxing beneath mature shade trees. One of this property's most exciting features is the depth of the lot. Extending through to Hyde Avenue, the property offers the potential, subject to Town of Tryon approvals and applicable regulations, for future access from Hyde Avenue and the construction of a detached three-car garage with a guest apartment, home office, or income-producing rental above. Whether envisioned as additional living space, a workshop, collector's garage, or investment opportunity, the property's size and configuration provide flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in downtown Tryon. Leave the car behind and enjoy everything that makes Tryon such a special place. Restaurants, galleries, shops, the Tryon Fine Arts Center, parks, festivals, and community events are all within an easy stroll. Positioned to enjoy both historic downtown Tryon and the future Saluda Grade Rail Trail, this property offers an increasingly rare combination of walkability, historic character, and long-term lifestyle appeal. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, an elegant weekend retreat, or an investment in one of western North Carolina's most charming small towns, 143 Broadway presents a unique opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic home on one of downtown Tryon's most desirable in-town lots.
