About This Home

Mixed-Use Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Tryon — STR, LTR, or Business Use Welcome to 160 E Howard Street, a versatile 2-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow ideally positioned just steps from downtown Tryon. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property offers multiple income-producing paths, whether as a short-term rental, long-term rental, live/work space, or small business location. The layout supports flexible use, featuring two levels, functional living spaces, and a heated and cooled sunroom that can serve as an office, studio, or additional guest space. The charm and character of the home, combined with walkability to shops, dining, and galleries, make it highly appealing for STR guests and tenants alike. Recent updates, including a new furnace, fresh interior paint, and refinished wood floors, provide a strong foundation for immediate occupancy or rental without significant upfront improvements. Parking is thoughtfully accommodated with a 10x17 dedicated front space, on-street availability, and additional rear access via shared driveway, supporting guest turnover, tenant convenience, or client access for business use. With the highly anticipated Saluda Grade Trail just steps away, this property is well-positioned for future appreciation and increased rental demand. The private backyard with mature trees and a small stream enhances the overall guest and tenant experience. Whether you’re looking to generate immediate rental income, establish a business presence, or secure a property with long-term upside in a growing mountain town, this is a rare opportunity in a prime location.
