About this home
Discover a rare find in desirable Hiwassee Bend: a spacious 4BR/4.5BA home on 1.69 usable acres just 5 miles from Downtown Murphy. Set back from the road with easy access, a cleared open yard and a tree buffer for added privacy and sound suppression, this property offers both convenience and tranquility. Step inside to a stunning family room with cathedral ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, and a cozy fireplace as the focal point. The well-appointed kitchen features a large island with sink, smooth-top range, stainless steel refrigerator, mounted microwave, and a walk-in pantry. The dedicated office, on the main level, is ideal for work or library use, with wall-to-wall shelving and an attached half bath. It could also serve as an additional bedroom. At the heart of the home is the true showstopper—an indoor swimming pool and hot tub, perfect for year-round enjoyment and entertaining. With 3 bonus rooms and a full bath located on the other side of the pool area, it could also be additional living quarters. The upper level hosts the master suite with walk-in closet and full bath, plus two additional bedrooms separated by a full bath for privacy and convenience. The lower level offers fantastic flex space that could easily serve as an efficiency apartment —also ideal for guests, hobbies, or multigenerational living. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a wrap-around, partially covered porch overlooking the expansive yard. An attached 2-car garage, detached 2 car garage, full-sized workshop with two roll-up doors, and a storage shed provide abundant space for vehicles, tools, and toys. This unique property combines space, function, and lifestyle in a highly sought-after Murphy location.
