About This Home
Kick off your boots and stay a while! This cute bungalow is located in the heart of Mill Spring, just minutes from local schools, the Tryon Equestrian Center, Lake Adger, Green River Cove, Lake Lure, as well as quick access to to I-26, Hwy 74 and downtown Columbus. Whether you're into horses, hiking, fishing, biking, or just grabbing groceries or a bite in town, this location keeps you close to it all. This proeprty offers .85 ac of spacious, lush yard and plenty of room to breathe. You'll find not one but two detached garages. Interior home features include hardwood floors and beautiful solid panel walls in select rooms that add a warm, rustic touch. Spacious primary bedroom has 2 closets. Basement features laundry area, storage, full bathroom, utilities and a flex room that would be good for an office, hobbies, guest space or an art studio, (please note that the finished areas in the basement are accessible via non-finished space and is not contiguous from the stairs). Built around 1950, this home has had only a couple of owners over the years, and while it may not meet all modern building codes, it's full of character and still very livable. Some updates would really make it shine, and add value. The larger 3-car garage has electricity and the smaller 1-car is currently an open garage, though doors could be installed to secure it. Both structures are in good shape but could benefit from a little TLC around the trim and chimney in the large garage needs repair in order to use. There is no zoning in this area of Polk County. The property is on a private well and it's also connected to the Inman-Campobello water system, ( And while this home is easily visible from the road, it still offers a good sense of privacy once you're on-site. Home sits above a county owned recreational field where practice & games takes place from time to time. If you’re looking for a place in the country with potential, charm, and a convenient location, this one’s worth a look. Seller plans to leave the furniture in home for the buyer, however if buyer doesn't want it, listing firm help assist in removal before closing. Seller hasn’t lived in this home in many years and is therefore selling this property strictly AS-IS.
