About this home
Some homes are simply built. Others are lovingly created, carefully maintained, and filled with years of wonderful memories. This is one of those rare places. Custom built and meticulously cared for by its original owners, this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, one-level brick ranch rests on nearly 20 acres of unrestricted rolling countryside, offering the kind of privacy and usable land that's becoming harder and harder to find--all just 7 miles from downtown Murphy. The long covered front porch was made for rocking chairs, quiet mornings with a cup of tea, afternoons watching deer wander across the pasture, listening to nothing but birdsong, and taking in some of the most incredible star-filled skies western North Carolina has to offer. Inside, you'll immediately appreciate the quality construction and thoughtful design. Solid oak flooring flows throughout the home, complemented by beautiful custom solid oak cabinetry that adds warmth and timeless character. The spacious living, dining, and kitchen areas create an inviting gathering place that's comfortable for everyday living and just as welcoming for family and friends. Designed for easy one-level living, the floor plan offers three comfortable bedrooms, two full baths, generous storage, and the timeless quality that comes with a well-built home. Step outside and the property truly begins to shine. Nearly 20 unrestricted acres of gently rolling land provide endless possibilities for gardening, horses, hobby farming, recreation, additional buildings, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that surrounds you. A creek borders the front property line, while both a private well and spring water add to the property's appeal. For anyone needing space to work, create, or store equipment, you'll love the impressive detached workshop/garage complete with its own full bathroom, in addition to the attached garage. Whether you're a craftsman, collector, woodworker, mechanic, or simply appreciate having exceptional workspace, this building is a tremendous bonus. Properties like this don't come along often--quality construction, one-level living, unrestricted acreage, usable land, creek frontage, multiple water sources, privacy, an attached garage, an exceptional detached workshop, and an outstanding location just minutes from downtown Murphy. It is a place that has been deeply loved, and now it's ready for someone new to write the next chapter of its story.
