Tucked away in the desirable gated community of Wildcat, this inviting mountain chalet offers privacy, flexible living space, and thoughtful features just a few miles from downtown Murphy. Professionally designed landscaping creates a private, low-maintenance setting with a beautiful stone courtyard, integrated planting areas, and herb garden. Mature landscaping surrounds the home for added privacy, while the wooded setting attracts an abundance of wildlife, including deer and a variety of birds. A wraparound porch provides plenty of space to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting. The classic chalet design features soaring ceilings and an abundance of windows that bring in natural light and views of the wooded surroundings. The kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, and an open layout that flows easily into the main living area. With a full bath on each level, the home is well designed for both everyday living and visiting family and friends. The spacious lower level adds exceptional versatility with a large family room featuring a second gas-log fireplace and a cleverly concealed Murphy bed that appears as an attractive wall unit with shelving when closed. A separate wall of built-in bookcases with a rolling library-style ladder adds character and abundant storage. An additional bonus room offers flexible space for an office, craft room or guest accommodations. The loft bedroom includes a second Murphy bed, providing another convenient option for overnight guests. A detached two-car garage with an attached workshop provides excellent parking, storage, and workspace, while the new roof adds another important recent improvement.
