120 Longbranch Ln., Tryon, NC 28782

Built circa 1935, this charming, antique home is situated on a delightful 1.4-acre parcel. While the land is mostly level, the brick house sits on a little rise overlooking the lawns and a small creek that bisects the property. Reminiscent of an English countryside postcard, the red-roofed, yellow shuttered, weathered brick and white-clad house is framed by stone walls and a lofty, green backdrop of towering trees. There are hardwood floors, numerous original built-ins, and three fireplaces. The kitchen is modern and flanked by the dining room and a den that links the living room. The living room has high, cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, French doors leading to a stone patio, and a fireplace. On the upper level, there is the master suite, which includes a nursery/sewing room; as well as 2 guest bedrooms sharing a bath and a fireplace study. The separate 800 sqft. cottage was built in the 1990s using logs salvaged from a 100-year-old smokehouse, so we’ve been told. Sold as-is!
