Single-Family Home
Built in 1193

About this House

Built in 1939, this vintage gem is brimming with character and solid craftsmanship. You'll feel the charm of a home that has stood the test of time with its sturdy stone-and-brick basement walls and thoughtful details like original glass door knobs. The sun-filled living room invites you to take in the sweeping mountain views and breathtaking sunsets, best enjoyed beside the crackling wood-burning fireplace. The home's versatile layout is currently set up as two apartments—a 2BR/1BA and a 1BR/1BA—offering endless possibilities. Use it as a guest or in-law suite, create space for independent teens, or reimagine it as one spacious home filled with history and heart. Downstairs, you'll find a handy workshop space, while throughout the home modern updates like double-pane insulated windows and a ramp for easy main-level access. Living in town means everything is at your fingertips. Stroll to local shops, restaurants, the post office, or Murphy schools. Enjoy the ease of city services like trash pickup, snow removal, bus transit, and the bonus of fiber optic internet for staying connected. A rare blend of vintage charm, practicality, and location—this is in-town living at its very best!

    "vehicle is a must have commodity to get around when you live out of the town city limits. Unless you like to walk or ride a bike. They're are few other drawbacks as well. Communicating by cell phone is not very good around the countryside, lacking cell towers. This is a problem, even trying to get on the internet. Somedays are better than others but still we have poor reception. Other than that we have the beautiful outdoors. We can enjoy going to the national forest for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing or just driving around the back roads and enjoy scenery as well as wildlife. Living outside the city's limit might have it's drawbacks but you take the good and the bad as it comes and make the best of it."

    "Murphy, NC is a small community with all the basics (yes, including Walmart). There is a lot to do or you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Winters are NOT harsh, however, you will need warm clothing. You can enjoy the wildlife from your back deck or walk the many trails throughout the county. Although Murphy will have a Casino come the Summer of 2015; it will have little impact on the quality of life."
