Property Description
Historic 1893 Beauty with Modern Luxury in the Heart of Rutherfordton. Discover the perfect fusion of stately charm and contemporary comfort in this beautifully renovated 1890s home, located less than half a mile from downtown Rutherfordton and Rutherford Hospital. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its timeless character, this residence showcases soaring ceilings, intricate dental molding, and original hardwood floors refinished in 2024. The main level features a spacious room anchored by a rustic fireplace with exposed wood beams, along with elegant living and dining rooms highlighted by classic chandeliers. The fully updated chef’s kitchen offers new stainless steel appliances, and the main-level primary suite provides convenience and luxury with its modern ensuite bathroom. Additional bedrooms—including a front bedroom or library with a cozy wood-burning fireplace—offer flexible space for relaxation or working from home. Outside, the circular driveway and mature, flowering landscaping create a serene and picturesque setting. The cedar wood siding adds to the home’s historic appeal, while recent updates such as the 2024 roof and refinished flooring throughout ensure comfort and peace of mind. All appliances, including the washer and dryer, convey. Enjoy easy access to the Thermal Belt Rail Trail, downtown shops, and an effortless drive to Lake Lure and the renowned Tryon International Equestrian Center (approximately 12 miles). A rear sunroom provides bonus potential but requires repair; code compliance unverified.
