Investor Alert — Duplex in Hickory’s Historic Kenworth District!
Two units. Six bedrooms. 3.5 baths. One property with plenty of possibilities. Located just minutes from downtown Hickory and Lenoir-Rhyne University, this 1923-built duplex offers a unique opportunity to own an income-producing property in one of Hickory’s established historic neighborhoods. Situated on a 0.23-acre lot, the property features two separate living units, making it an appealing option for investors or buyers looking for additional rental income.
Main-Level Unit:
Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and approximately 1,795 heated/cooled square feet, this spacious unit offers an open kitchen, hardwood floors, a fireplace in the living area, and a large covered front porch. The generous floor plan provides plenty of room for comfortable living and entertaining.
Upper-Level Unit:
The second unit offers 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and approximately 850 square feet. Hardwood floors and a kitchen with laundry add convenience, while the unit's current lack of heat and central air provides an opportunity for an investor to make improvements and potentially increase rental income.
With 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths combined, there are several ways to put this property to work. Live in the larger main-level unit and rent the upper unit, rent both units for an investment property, or explore the potential of improving the upper unit and increasing its rental appeal. The property also offers a nice parking area and an established neighborhood setting close proximity to downtown Hickory, Lenoir-Rhyne University, shopping, dining, and other amenities.
Offered at ONLY $214,900.
