This house is such a cool 1920 historic Craftsman home and a rare opportunity to live and back up to Tryon creek Park at a reasonable price!! Craftsman homes are from a time when building was a craft. The location is wonderful!! The incredible living room is filled with natural light from an abundance of windows to view the Park. A cozy fireplace serves as the focal point. Two generously sized bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood floors and large windows that showcase lovely views of the surrounding wildlife. An updated main bathroom offers both modern comfort and style. The spacious kitchen opens to a large dining room featuring charming built-ins and lots of windows that allow stunning views of Tryon Creek Park. Check out the separate staircase leading to the upper level, where you'll find two versatile rooms that can serve as bedrooms, home offices, hobby rooms, or craft rooms. The expansive deck is ideal for entertaining and enjoying the peaceful natural setting. A private office offers a quiet retreat for working from home. TONS OF STORAGE. Nearby, an exceptionally finished bonus room provides flexibility and can be used as a media room, TV room, game room, or he/she retreat. The large laundry room offers abundant storage. A very dependable TRANE furnace keeps the home comfortable year-round. The basement has a new water heater & additional storage. A covered carport provides protection from the elements. When outside enjoy the park-like setting, as this propety welcomes you into the park. It bustles with life as birds of all kinds can be seen, and squirrels play and feed in the trees. Vibrant humming birds delight you, deer traverse the safe yard; a blue heron may seek food in the ever-flowing creek down the hill. Darkness brings out owls who may fascinate you with their calls.
