Property Description
Perched on a tree-covered hilltop above downtown Tryon, Fox Cottage feels like a deep exhale. Built circa 1905, this Craftsman-style home blends vintage soul with thoughtful updates—featuring original pine hardwood floors, warm natural light, and forest-framing windows.
With 2 beds, 2 baths, and a flex room for guests or a studio, the home offers comfort and flexibility. The main level showcases hardwoods and a welcoming layout, while the lower level—finished with LVP flooring—provides a second retreat with its own porch.
There are 3 porches total, including The Bird's Nest—a quiet perch off the primary suite. With wood lap siding, an architectural shingle roof, and serene surroundings, the home is rich in character yet easy to maintain.
Close to the future Saluda Grade Trail, 1/2 mile to downtown Tryon, and near Landrum and Hendersonville, this foothills cottage is a rare offering—ideal as a full-time home, weekend escape, or creative retreat.
