Welcome to your dream 3 bedroom/2 bath cedar sided home nestled in the mountains of Murphy, NC. This quality built SIPS home has extra thick walls and additional insulation which makes it economically advantageous when those heating and cooling bills come in. Sitting at the end of an extra long paved driveway (250 ft) on 1.54 acres with a long rambling creek. The over 50ft  large flagstone front porch (2022) can accommodate your multiple picnic tables, Adirondack chairs and firepit as you and your friends enjoy the hot-tub. As you sit on the newly screened-in back porch you can drink your coffee and listen to the creek in the background. The backyard is HUGE and completely fenced in(over 500 ft). You're pets will enjoy using their doggy door and exploring and playing with the deer at will. Ivy Bend is a gated community and hunting is prohibited.
