Welcome to this beautifully remodeled Wright-inspired midcentury home in coveted Gillette Woods. In the 1920s, actor and playwright William Gillette, distressed by timbering in much of Western NC, preserved wooded tracts of land for his private retreat called Thousand Pines. Renowned landscape architect Lawrence V. Sheridan helped transform it into Gillette Woods where 1920s stately country homes now harmonize with midcentury architecture, all on large irregular lots that follow the terrain naturally. Gillette Woods is paradise for walkers, bicyclists and nature lovers. On the 1.5 acres of this offering, you will find three patios and an enchanting artist retreat. Custom designed fencing encloses one of the patio areas. Natural stone paths traverse the property. Japanese maples, mountain laurel, azaleas and Hydrangeas abound. It is just far enough up the mountain for seasonal views but remains a hop, skip, jump, or a golf cart ride, to charming downtown Tryon – truly the friendliest town in the South. Inside, enjoy one level living with two bedrooms, kitchen, bath, office and laundry all on the first level. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the main living space are complemented by stained concrete in the dining area and tile in the bathroom. Find inviting space in the finished basement which walks out to the back patio and a large level yard. In the last two and a half years as part of the whole home renovation and before deciding to move back up north, the owner had the hardwood floors refinished and replaced the roof, HVAC, some exterior doors, all interior doors, wood stove insert, all fixtures and appliances. Owner also had natural gas run to the home which powers the furnace and tankless water heater.
