About this home

There is a particular kind of freedom in a home that asks nothing of you. 16A Willow View Drive, thoughtfully designed as one half of a two-unit building, sits inside a gated community just minutes to downtown Franklin. Positioned beautifully at the end of the road for maximum privacy, everything about this home is built for the part of life where the mountains are enjoyed rather than maintained. One story, no stairs anywhere, and a whole community to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen opens to the living space, laundry is on the main level, and the attached garage lets you come in without ever standing in the rain. The living room runs the length of the home and opens to a screened porch facing the ridges. In winter, the mountains show through clearly. In summer, the porch stays shaded and cool, becoming the place for morning coffee and evening slowdowns. The split bedroom plan gives the primary suite its own side of the house with a walk-in closet, which matters when your favorite guests show up. What sets this one apart is what you will never have to do. You'll start with newly installed flooring and a fresh coat of interior paint throughout. In the past two years, the roof and the HVAC system have been replaced, and the parking area has been recently resurfaced. The POA maintains the lawn, grounds, home exterior, and ongoing parking area maintenance. Community water and public sewer mean no well and no septic. You can lock the door in October, spend two months elsewhere, and come back to a place that looks exactly the way you left it. The clubhouse and walking trails are there when you want them. For those who love to hit the links, you are also incredibly close to the Mill Creek Golf Course. Designed by renowned architect Bruce Devlin, this 18-hole, regulation-style resort course perfectly showcases the scenic mountain surroundings while offering a rewarding challenge for players of all skill levels. Beyond the greens, Franklin is 10 minutes away for groceries, the hospital, and the gem mines. The Nantahala, the Appalachian Trail at Standing Indian, and the whole western half of the Smokies open up from here. This is the mountain townhome for the people who came for the mountains, not for the yard work.
