Tucked behind a stacked-stone entrance and wrapped in mature hardwoods, 82 Pope Road is a two-bedroom, two-bath cabin retreat in Franklin. A deep covered front porch, over 24 feet across, sets the tone for the wraparound outdoor living this property delivers. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings and log-accented walls carry through the main living areas, anchored by a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove insert in the open living room. The kitchen offers warm wood cabinetry and flows easily into the living and dining space, while a main-level bedroom, full bath with a soaking tub, and a dedicated laundry room round out the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true escape: a private bedroom paired with its own sitting room and ensuite bath, tucked beneath the same rustic wood ceilings. Step outside and the home keeps giving. The covered and uncovered decks frame long-range mountain views and offer space for morning coffee, evening dinners, or simply taking in the quiet. A stone outdoor pizza oven is a crowd favorite, and a detached storage building adds flexibility for tools, hobbies, or extra storage. Wooded and full of mountain cabin character, this is Western North Carolina living at its best. The neighboring home, 173 Pope Road, is also for sale, perfect for those seeking to create a family compound.
