***Buyer simply changed her mind which means someone else has the amazing opportunity to tour, purchase and make 55 Beamon their forever home. Don't wait this was only an active listing for a day before the offers started coming in. Second chances like this don't come often!! Call today and get your showing scheduled.*** Nearly a century of character, thoughtfully restored for the way we live today. Built in 1929, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been a true labor of love, with the current owners spending the past five years carefully restoring and improving the property while honoring the craftsmanship and character of its era. Step inside and you'll immediately see details that simply aren't found in most newer homes—stunning original hardwood floors, substantial window and door casings, beautiful moldings and original fireplace surrounds that preserve the home's history. While the original fireplaces have been closed and are no longer in use, their craftsmanship remains an integral part of the home's character. One fireplace has been brought back to life with the addition of a wood stove, creating a wonderfully cozy gathering space. The kitchen was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, combining modern function with finishes thoughtfully selected to complement the home's age. Subway tile extends all the way to the ceiling, while butcher-block countertops on the island, gold-tone fixtures, custom-built pantry doors and replaced appliances create a space that feels fresh without feeling out of place in a 1929 home. That same attention to detail carries into both renovated bathrooms. Rather than simply installing contemporary finishes, the owners intentionally selected materials and fixtures that reference the home's original era. One bath features classic subway tile, rich color, traditional-style fixtures and a beautiful stained-glass transom above the door. Even the new bathtub was specifically selected for its vintage-inspired design, complemented by warm brass fixtures and carefully chosen finishes. These are renovations designed to belong in this house—not erase its history. An enclosed former porch was also completely transformed into a functional mudroom and laundry room. The floors were leveled and the space rebuilt to create an entirely new everyday-use area. And the improvements go well beyond cosmetics. Within the past five years, the owners have replaced the HVAC system, added a mini-split upstairs, upgraded the electrical, encapsulated the crawl space, installed new lighting, added new decking and provided a generator connection—with the generator conveying. A standing-seam metal roof adds another substantial improvement. Outside may be every bit as special as the interior. New pathways wind through thoughtfully created gardens filled with both ornamental plantings and an impressive collection of established edibles, including strawberries, asparagus, apples, cherries, figs, peaches, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, along with raised garden beds and more. Relax on the deck, gather around the firepit, work in the garden or simply enjoy this tucked-away setting beneath the trees. Conveniently located near downtown and Lake James, this isn't simply an older home that has been remodeled. It is a 1929 home that has been carefully brought forward while allowing the craftsmanship, warmth and personality of its past to remain. From the gardens and outdoor spaces to the smallest interior details, the work here has been researched, considered and completed with care. Come appreciate the labor of love that's already been poured into this home—and add your own chapter to its nearly 100-year story.

There’s something special about an old farmhouse just waiting to be brought back to life and this Glenwood property is ready for its next chapter! Set on a wonderfully flat yard with ample parking and plenty of space for outdoor gatherings, this property has the setting, character and bones to inspire someone with a vision. Inside, you’ll find gorgeous hardwood flooring, large rooms throughout the main level and a spacious full bathroom. There’s an undeniable “old house charm” here, and with the right updates and renovations, it’s easy to imagine these spaces coming alive again. Upstairs are two bedroom spaces(bonus room that previously functioned as a third bedroom), giving you even more room to work with as you restore this home to its full potential. The home is heated by a furnace; however, when the furnace was replaced, it appears the vent piping was not connected to the upstairs vent, and the upper level is not currently receiving heat from the furnace. For this reason, the upstairs square footage is being reported as Non-HLA (non-heated living area). There is no bathroom upstairs. Buyers are encouraged to investigate the heating system and requirements for bringing this area into heated living area to their satisfaction. And the farmhouse feel doesn’t stop at the house! An old barn and older singlewide are also located on the property, adding to the story AND the possibilities. The condition and functionality of the singlewide are unknown, while the barn appears to be in poor condition and may require significant repair or removal. Buyers should independently evaluate both structures. Make no mistake, this is a true fixer-upper and will require someone prepared to put in the work or hire the professionals to do it. But with beautiful hardwoods, generously sized rooms, a flat yard, ample parking and a desirable Glenwood location, there is plenty here worth bringing back to life. If old homes, farmhouse character and a good “before and after” speak to you, come see the possibilities for yourself! Cash preferred; conventional financing will be considered.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Mountain Estate Bordering Pisgah National Forest Privacy. History. Adventure. Possibilities. This is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. Ride out your own gate. This 14-acre equestrian estate borders Pisgah National Forest on three sides, opening directly onto thousands of acres of protected trail. No trailer, no trailhead, no hauling out. Paxton Creek runs year-round through the property, audible from the screened porch. One hour from Tryon International Equestrian Center. The facility is built to work. A three-stall barn with grain and tack room and full hay loft with overhang. A riding arena for lunging, training, schooling or use as a dry lot. Three fenced and cross-fenced pastures with a run-in shelter, watered by a natural freshwater spring capable of serving the barn. A 30' x 30' workshop with side overhang handles equipment, hay or a second rig, with RV parking on a 50-amp hookup and a generator hookup for the property. The log residence is engineered for permanence: a 10-foot Superior Walls foundation, a heated and cooled semi-finished basement for tack, training or recreation space, a new 3-ton heat pump (2025) and a Hot Blast wood furnace ducted throughout. Wide porches, mountain and water views, and the quiet of a property at the end of a private road. Flexible by design. Keep it as a private equestrian estate. Run it as a working homestead — pastures, chicken coop, historic blacksmith shop and spring already in place. Or build: a prepared site along the historic Wagon Trail commands 360-degree views of Old Fort Mountain and the ranges beyond.
