54 Melrose Ln., Tryon, NC 28782

Melrose Lane is an enchanting neighborhood, and this one-of-a-kind house fits perfectly within the unique streetscape. With its hand-split cedar shakes and steeply peaked dormers, the steep roof gives it a fairytale-like quality. Passing through the foyer to the cedar-framed post-and-beam great room, one is infused by the peaceful charisma of this unique home. The cedar frame extends beyond the main structure, creating a carport above, which is a private bedroom suite with a balcony. A Rumford-style fireplace flanked by French doors leads to an elevated brick patio with an iron railing. The kitchen incorporates a four-season sunroom with a view of the sky and surrounding mature trees. A den/music room with a fireplace and a Boston baby grand piano is neatly sequestered beyond the kitchen. Two more bedroom suites complete the main level. The basement includes an office, an artist's studio, a fully equipped woodworking shop, and ample storage space. Downtown Tryon is a short walk.
