Description

Nestled on nearly 7 peaceful and private creekfront acres, this sprawling brick mountain home offers the perfect blend of seclusion, comfort, and modern updates. The main level features an inviting living area with vaulted ceilings and a cozy gas-log fireplace, a spacious primary suite, and an updated kitchen with newer appliances and flooring. With 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a partially finished basement that provides flexible bonus space, the home easily accommodates guests, extended family, or a home office. Enjoy the sounds of the creek from the expansive back deck, ideal for relaxing or entertaining in a serene natural setting. Recent upgrades—including new heat/AC systems and a gas tankless water heater—add efficiency and peace of mind, while the attached garage and additional basement garage offer ample storage. This 7 acre offering includes an adjoining second parcel. Located just minutes from downtown Sylva and convenient to Franklin, yet tucked away in the quiet Turtle Creek community, this property delivers true mountain living along with modern convenience.
