For buyers craving that true mountain-cabin feel, this Murphy retreat delivers warmth, views, and multiple places to unwind without feeling ordinary. Cathedral ceilings, wood walls, wood floors, and a fireplace give the main living area the character people come to the mountains for, while the kitchen island adds useful prep and gathering space. Upstairs, the loft creates a comfortable sitting or reading area, with a separate primary bedroom just beyond it for privacy and a private bath featuring a double vanity. Laundry is conveniently located on the main level, with additional plumbing already in place below for future flexibility. The full finished basement expands the home with room for guests, hobbies, or a second living area. Outside, the wraparound deck captures the views, the lower screened patio offers protected outdoor living, and the fire pit and hot tub plumbing make evenings easy to imagine. Paved access and proximity to Murphy, Lake Hiwassee, and Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino round out the appeal.
