Historic "Mostly Hall" sits proudly on a hillside just steps from the heart of Tryon, surrounded by mature landscaping, stone walkways, and picturesque mountain views. Built circa 1912, this remarkable home reflects the charm of an English cottage with Cape Cod influences, thoughtfully updated to preserve its original character, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. The gracious entry welcomes you into the main living spaces, where wide archways, exposed ceiling beams, columns, and rich hardwood floors create an inviting sense of warmth and architectural continuity. Craftsman-style doors and windows flood the home with natural light, while preserved details such as beadboard, crown molding, brick accents, and custom built-ins speak to the home's historic soul. A charming brick fireplace anchors the living room, flanked by built-in shelving and crowned with a substantial wood-framed mirror that enhances both light and depth. The open flow continues seamlessly into the formal dining room, ideal for gatherings, and highlighted by elegant proportions and classic detailing. The sweeping quarter-turn staircase adds architectural drama and leads to the upper levels of the home. The chef's kitchen blends timeless design with modern functionality, featuring Carrara marble countertops, custom painted cabinetry, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient passthrough to the dining room. Exposed brick, open shelving, wide-plank hardwood floors, and a statement chandelier add warmth and visual interest, while multiple windows frame peaceful outdoor views. A movable center island provides flexible prep and entertaining space. The second level hosts three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a sitting area, along with a sleeping porch or sunroom and a dedicated laundry room"”creating both comfort and practicality. A private pied-à-terre with its own entrance, gives options for exceptional flexibility. This retreat-like space includes a sitting room, dining nook, charming kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and an additional office or bedroom.
