Description

Perched on two combined lots totaling approximately three acres, this stunning 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom mountain home offers privacy, space, and breathtaking long-range MOUNTAIN VIEWS! Located at the end of a paved road with a paved driveway, the setting is both peaceful and easily accessible. Outdoor living is exceptional, with three levels of decks and porches wrapping three sides of the home, perfectly positioned to take in the surrounding scenery. A basement-level garage adds convenience and functionality. Step inside to the dramatic Great Room, where wood floors, a vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, and chalet windows create a warm first impression. A gas log fireplace with a live-edge log mantel anchors the space, while three sets of glass doors open directly to the deck and those sweeping mountain views. Just beyond, the spacious dining room flows seamlessly for effortless entertaining. The open kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, granite countertops, and included appliances, offering both style and practicality. A hallway leads to a full guest bathroom and two generously sized guest bedrooms, each with its own door opening to the porch for easy indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, a loft catwalk overlooks the Great Room and leads through French doors into the luxurious Master Suite. This private retreat boasts wood floors, a vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and three sets of doors opening to the deck. The en suite bath includes a double vanity and a custom tile walk-in shower. The lower level offers multiple separate spaces with unlimited potential, along with a laundry area, a full bathroom, and three sets of doors leading outside. Fixed wireless high-speed internet, a fire pit, a hot tub, instant hot water tank, central vacuum system, and—of course—those unforgettable mountain views complete this exceptional escape.

    "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."
