Great 2/2 Home for Sale in Murphy NC with Tiki Bar, Outdoor Fireplace, and Much More

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Here’s a one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2-bath Home for Sale right in the Martins Creek Community of Murphy, NC! It is extraordinary, and the outdoor living is larger than life! This home is a steal of a deal – especially when you learn about all the features it has.

Inside or out, where do I start?! They’re both spectacular, so we’ll start inside.

The kitchen is out of this world for a cabin home priced substantially under 150k. It has custom cabinetry wrapping around and a wonderful island to cook, prepare, and entertain. All the appliances are high end stainless steel Kenmore Elite, with the exception of the LG refrigerator. It has a gas stovetop, convection oven, and you can even bake in the microwave! They’re far from average and certainly won’t disappoint.

The living room’s vaulted ceiling creates a larger than life wood burning stone fireplace that stretches all the way to the tongue and groove ceiling. The hardwood floors creates a superbly cozy comfort zone. The master suite boasts its own walk-in closet and private bathroom. Coupled with a tall, vaulted ceiling, fixed glass window panes, and hardwood floors, this is one sweet suite.

The rest of the home has a true laundry room with lots of shelving and storage. The additional bedroom and bathroom won’t disappoint!

Now, outside is where this home shines. The front porch is just that – a large timber frame styled porch that impresses. The back porch has its own wood burning outdoor fireplace to entertain. The porch stretches to a supersized deck that has an awesome tiki bar! The perfect entertainment hot spot, it’s covered, seats a whole bunch of family and friends, and has running water!

This home is spectacular and shows like no other. This isn’t a home to delay, act fast and check it out!

Murphy’s Top Ten Reasons – and article in The Cherokee Scout by John Poltrock

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Here’s the most recent article I wrote for the Cherokee Scout’s magazine, Country Roads. This is one of my favorite’s and honestly, all Jessica’s idea! Enjoy! 🙂

Murphy attracts people from all over the United States. From Florida, to Alabama, to New York, to California, to Alaska, and just about every other state in the Union. Some folks show up to rent a cabin for a while and never leave. Some come for the thousands of acres of US Forest Service land. Some find themselves here for the love of downtown, for family, and hundreds of other equally important reasons.

You may know that I didn’t grow up in Murphy and that my wife was born and raised right here. I was born in Georgia and grew up near Fayetteville NC and don’t miss it in the least. When Jessica and I got married, I moved right away and can’t imagine being anywhere else. And in case you’re from here and know the history, Jessica’s family has been here several generations – she’s a Ritz and her mom is a Cook. With that said, I get to hear a lot of reasons why being in Murphy is the best place to be in the world.

I have the benefit everyday of being able to help people come to Murphy and find their personal, favorite part of being here. And because of that, I wanted to share with you some of the few reasons why folks absolutely love it here. Not just transplants, or locals, or vacationers – a little bit of everyone. Here’s what I’ve found. Enjoy!

“The people. The people of Murphy are the best people you’ll ever meet anywhere in the U.S. It doesn’t matter if you’re at a friend’s or a local bank. They treat you like a neighbor and remember your name. You’re not a number, you’re a neighbor.”

-Bill Robbins and Kathy Pasick, Bradenton, FL and Murphy, NC

“The reason I love Murphy is simple, I’ve lived in here for 71 years and I just can’t imagine living in a better place. The temperature is cooler and the people are amazing. I’m a better person for making their acquaintance and knowing them. The people are sincere, honest, hard working, good Christian people and it doesn’t get any better than that.”

-Mayor Bill Hughes, Murphy NC

“The weather. When the rest of the country is getting record breaking heat with a heat index in the triple digits, I’m sitting on my porch enjoying the comfortable temperatures and cool nights.”

-Donald and Marilyn Blane, Florida and Murphy, NC

“Its hard for me to nail down one thing because we just LOVE it here. If I had to say one thing… locale… and temperature. I absolutely love the location. Its close to us to get to and not just that, Murphy’s close to everything. Anything we need for shopping, restaurants, you name it, Murphy’s got it.”

-Tom and Chris Barnes, Byron GA and Murphy NC

“I was born and raised in Murphy, and honestly, I’ve never left because I’ve never found anywhere better than here.”

-Tony and Susie Godfrey, Murphy NC (Parker’s Drug Store)

“I love the wildlife. We see deer, turkey, and all sorts of different animals right on our land. The nature here in Murphy is spectacular and everyday we’re thankful we moved here.”

– John and Annie Faulkner, now Murphy NC residents

“Super people. No question about it. We love coming here and the value [of real estate] is amazing. We looked for homes all over the mountains and Murphy was by far the best value we saw anywhere. Top it off with great quilting, and Murphy is our half-the-year home!”

-Stanley and Monica Stein

“The peace and quiet. There’s something about Murphy that relaxes us unlike anywhere we’ve ever been. We love it and always look forward to coming in. The hardest part is leaving!”

-James and Cheryl Palmer, Chapin SC

“Family brought me to Murphy, and to this day, that keeps me here. I love the beauty and tranquility of the area – there’s nothing like it. Coming from a fast-paced corporate job in California was certainly a change of speed, and I simply can’t imagine going back to it. I’m able to slow down and genuinely enjoy life. I love this area and everything it offers and look forward to many more years here.”

– Mike Webb, Murphy NC (Duke’s Marina)

“The seasons. There’s nowhere in the entire United States that offers the perfect blend of the seasons like Murphy does. The Spring is unbelievably comfortable as all the foliage comes back to life. The Summer is warm without the thick humidity. The Fall is one of my favorites with the change of the colors on the leaves. Even the Winter is quite mild and offers just the right amount of snow – not too much and not too little. You won’t find a more wonderful place with so much to offer.”

– Mark W., now a Murphy NC resident
