This lovely historic home in downtown Tryon was built in 1925 by Francis P. Bacon, a former Mayor of Tryon and a North Carolina State Senator. The home is uniquely sited in a large private compound which is very unusual in downtown. It feels like you’re out in the country but you’re only 5 minutes to everything. Elegant details are everywhere in this house from the gleaming wood floors and solid mahogany doors with crystal doorknobs to the original hardware still on the many many built in cabinets. New updates in kitchen and bathrooms make it modern and casual at the same time.
