About the property

Holland Brady Mid‑Century Modern on 1.6 Private Acres

This Holland Brady–designed mid‑century modern sits on a peaceful 1.6‑acre cul‑de‑sac parcel inside Tryon’s coveted Red Fox community. From the moment you arrive down Towhee Lane the property reads as intentional: sweeping oak floors, pecky cypress paneling and strong horizontal lines that give the house warmth and architectural clarity. Large Pella windows and sliding doors connect main living areas to a screened porch, expansive deck and the private sloped grounds beyond.

The main level centers on a generous living room with a fireplace and an adjacent library/study finished in cypress with built‑ins—an uncommon, character‑rich detail. The kitchen opens to a dining area with an island and easy access to outdoor entertaining spaces. A large primary suite on the main floor includes an updated bathroom, walk‑in closet and a sunroom that extends the suite’s footprint and outlook. Downstairs, the finished walkout lower level offers a family room with a second fireplace, two additional bedrooms and two full baths—ideal for guests, multigenerational living or a home office setup.

Materials and systems here are notable: 3/4" oak floors with maple plugs, Pella glazing, central AC with heat pump, a fiberglass roof and functional utilities including a well, septic system and propane. Practical features include a three‑car attached garage plus driveway parking for additional vehicles. The home’s condition is listed as excellent and shows thoughtful updates while preserving the mid‑century character.

Living at 133 Towhee Ln means quick access to Red Fox Country Club (0.3 mile) and the equestrian and outdoor life that defines the area—Tryon International Equestrian Center, Lake Lanier and downtown Tryon are all within short drives. With professional finishes and generous indoor/outdoor flow, this property appeals to buyers seeking architectural pedigree, privacy and connection to outdoor recreation. Listed at $880,000—within the market range suggested by nearby sales—this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully maintained mid‑century modern in a community prized for golf and equestrian amenities.

Editorial market perspective

The Red Fox neighborhood currently reads as a balanced market with slight seller advantages for well‑appointed single‑family homes. Inventory sits around 3.5 months—near the historical equilibrium—while average days on market are roughly 60 days. Median sale price for the broader area is approximately $450,000, but properties with provenance, high‑quality materials and larger lots in Red Fox trade at a premium; comparable sales analyzed within a one‑mile radius place this home’s likely value in an $850,000–$910,000 band with a midpoint near the current list of $880,000. Over the past five years median values have appreciated about 15%, and year‑over‑year appreciation is modest at roughly 5%.

Single‑family residences in Red Fox tend to outperform broader Polk County inventory due to nearby golf and equestrian amenities that attract retirees and professionals. For buyers, the current environment offers a predictable purchase timeline and reasonable negotiating latitude on homes that require updating; for sellers, well‑maintained and architecturally distinct homes—like this mid‑century modern—command strong interest and often market within the higher end of local price bands. Investors should note estimated rent comparables around $2,800–$3,200/month and low vacancy signals, while owner‑occupants can benefit from the property’s assessed value still trailing market estimates.
