About this home

Tucked on a gorgeous 1.04-acre wooded lot in one of Hickory's most sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space that feels both warm and move-in ready. Step inside to a sun-drenched living room where oversized picture windows flood the space with natural light — an effortless backdrop for entertaining or simply unwinding. The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen featuring updated cabinetry, granite countertops, a stainless sink, electric range, and dishwasher, all anchored by generous storage throughout. The adjacent dining area and flex den flow seamlessly together, creating an open, connected layout that just feels right. Retreat to the primary suite, complete with double closets and a fully renovated en-suite bath. The guest bath has been equally transformed with updated fixtures, custom tile work, and built-in storage. A large dedicated laundry room on the main level adds everyday convenience you'll appreciate. Outside, a side porch beckons for morning coffee, and the expansive lot offers endless possibilities for outdoor living, gardening, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own wooded retreat. The expansive side yard offers plenty of room for your furry friends to roam or even the potential for a beautiful in-ground pool! A carport and garage provide covered parking for multiple vehicles. Major updates have already been done for you: roof (2017), HVAC (2017), windows, gas fireplace with tile surround, and an exterior revamp with over $50,000 in hardscape updates — so you can move in with confidence and focus on making it yours.
