About This Home

Two houses, 1 parcel! Located in downtown Tryon, the historic Toy House & Cottage are now for sale. Designed by notable Tryon architect J. Foster Searles with an English Cottage aesthetic, the Toy House features one bedroom, bathroom, dining area, newly renovated kitchen w/ laundry closet & an alcove suitable for office use. Family room showcases the original fireplace complete w/ original carved walnut mantel & Mother Goose tiles, and carved beams in the vaulted ceiling, all of which were handcrafted by the original toymakers. Small upstairs loft overlooks the family room. Original features throughout - beautiful woodwork & some original door hardware are intact & in great condition. Adjacent Cottage was built later w/ kitchen, bedroom, living room & bathroom. Lots of storage & a deck too! The Toy House & Cottage have both been used as homes, however, they are located in the Central Business District & may be used for business, long or short-term rentals. New roofs on both!
