Coming Soon! Showings begin on 1/7/2026.
Welcome to this charming home in NE Hickory, ideally located near Lenoir-Rhyne University, shopping, and restaurants in Viewmont. This home exudes warmth and character, featuring a step-down living room with a stunning brick fireplace that adds an inviting touch. The updated kitchen boasts upgraded stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a stylish tile backsplash.
The spacious primary suite has been beautifully renovated, offering double sinks, a marble vanity, and a luxurious tile shower. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a tastefully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A large laundry room on the main level adds convenience, and the open staircase to the basement enhances the home's refined feel.
The partially finished basement provides a fantastic space for recreation, whether you're watching movies or unwinding after a long day. There's also a garage workshop area, along with an additional unfinished space that offers plenty of storage options.
Step outside and enjoy the cozy screened porch off the kitchen, as well as the large deck overlooking the fenced-in backyard. An impressive above-ground pool, surrounded by custom decking, offers the perfect spot to relax and cool off during the summer months. An inviting fire pit area adds warmth and charm to this backyard retreat.
Situated on almost an acre, this home offers plenty of room for expansion, should the new owner desire. Homes like this don't come on the market often, so be sure to schedule a showing as soon as it becomes available!
