It's the kind of house you settle into quickly, whether you're here full time or just for the weekend. The extras are what make it work. A finished metal roof is built for mountain weather and low upkeep. The screened-in porch is the heart of outdoor living-coffee at sunrise, a book in the afternoon, or evening air without the bugs. A detached garage adds real storage and workspace, and the paved parking area keeps parking and coming-and-going simple in every season. The location is the other big plus. Murphy sits where the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers meet, with lakes, forests, and trails all around. Downtown is close for dining, shops, and the River Walk. Nearby you'll find Hiwassee and Apalachia Lakes, the John C. Campbell Folk School, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino, and day trips to Blue Ridge, the Nantahala Gorge, and the Ocoee.
