1860 Warrior Dr., Tryon, NC 28782

Turning off scenic Warrior Drive at Sycamore Run, one might wrinkle the brow a bit. Something's different! The driveway slopes to a lively, meandering stream spanned by a rustic bridge. Beyond that is a fanciful, multi-faceted house just visible within a sequestered setting on a slight knoll. Pass through the foyer and one is struck by a blast of pure elegance. It is a brilliant combination of country-cottage-casual enriched by a good dose of sophistication, blended with the avant-garde. The kitchen is a chef's fantasy, where cupboards are forsaken by windows. The appliances are first-rate, and there are some 45 ft. of wooden countertops, plus a functional island centerpiece that is constructed around an antique 5-foot maple chopping block. The dining room intercepts the transition to a truly wonderful living room with bookshelves and a Carolina fieldstone Rumford style fireplace, plus a sunroom. The master suite is on the main level. The house is imbued with eclectic details. Video!
