Beautiful area

This home is in a scenic location.
Murphy Lofts is the first of its kind downtown, located on the second level of a historic 126-year-old brick building. Private entrance, kitchen, and laundry facilities. It has all the charm of a small town and all the modern flair of a NYC artist's flat.
Everything you want is within walking distance; local shopping with handmade goods, small-town eateries, a bakery, a brewery, and bars. We have two rivers, the Murphy River Walk, and Konehete Park with pickleball courts and a paved bike path.

The space
The entire apartment is an open loft concept with a full kitchen and living area, five huge windows, and blackout curtains.

The brand new kitchen is fully stocked. We provide a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker, as well as a drip coffee maker. (We also get you started with k-cups and creamer.) The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, and pots and pans for those who want to cook. A set of plates, bowls, and cups are provided (these are my favorite and from my store- Black & White Market- which is on the main level of the building- so you better come see me!!!) Our mugs are made by a local potter.

We have a super cozy leather sofa bed (queen mattress), a side chair, and many plants (we have incredible natural light, so they are very happy). We also have a new 55" Smart TV.

The KING bed is in an open space and has floor-to-ceiling curtains so you can make the area more private from the rest of the space. The bed is incredibly comfortable and soft, with a PURPLE queen mattress and Sertapedic mattress topper. The sheets are 100% organic cotton. Everything is scrupulously clean.

The twin bed is located in an elevated loft area, accessed by a ladder. It is not a standing space, but there is plenty of room for kids to spread out and play. This space also has its own 32" Smart TV.

The bathroom has a tall step-in shower and plenty of room for your toiletries. (You will be provided with plush ribbed towel sets, as well as starter toiletries, toilet paper and hair dryer.)

There is a designated public gathering space beside the building, as well. Picnic tables, benches, café-style lighting - it's functional and super dreamy of the evening when the lights come on.

Pets are (newly) allowed with a FEE. No smoking in or around the entrance of the building.

October 2024 addition : 2 EV charging stations just 20 feet from the entry! (Provided by Murphy Electric Power Board - for the public.)

Guest access
There is an East and West loft, and the East is currently hosting long-term residents, who have two friendly and quiet dogs, Rox and Reese. They will not bother you. There is also a building cat, you may see her napping in the sun in one of the windows, but she will not go into your apartment.
Your apartment is the 'West' Apartment and will be on the left, clearly marked.
The entire space is yours, completely private, and you will have a unique code to access it.
All shared spaces are yours to explore and hang out in, like the cute little puzzle nook outside the apartments, where you'll be looking into a 100-year-old elevator shaft!

Other things to note
Currently rented monthly. Available beginning of 2026.

The loft is located on the second level of a historic 126-year-old brick building in the heart of downtown. There are 32 fairly shallow steps to climb after entering the back door.
