This 2-bed, 2-bath chalet-style retreat provides the mountain feel you want and the everyday function you need. From the great room with vaulted ceilings and a gas log fireplace to the walk-in pantry, and loft, this home offers the comfort and flexibility that make mountain living easy. Rich wood walls, ceilings, and floors add warmth and character throughout, while fiber optic internet gives you the freedom to work, stream, and stay connected without giving up the getaway feel. Outside, you'll find plenty of room to relax and entertain guests-motorcycling, fishing Lake Nottley, kayaking, and nature walks. The side deck has been reinforced and is ready for your future hot tub, while the rear section of the wraparound deck is covered so you can enjoy the outdoors in more seasons. A low-maintenance yard gives you outdoor space without the constant upkeep. The fully insulated 24x30 oversized 2-car garage adds flexibility for storage, hobbies, and year-round vehicle protection, complete with pull-down stair access to an 8x24 storage loft. Additional home upgrades include a generator interlock system, metal roof, and zoned HVAC with separate thermostats for upstairs and downstairs. Several furniture items will also remain. All at a convenient base for enjoying Murphy's historic downtown, the River Walk, and Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino.
