Welcome to 5305 Icard Ridge Road, Hickory, NC—an exceptional all-brick ranch offering timeless appeal, beautiful Lake Hickory views, and nearly 3 acres of privacy and opportunity. Ideally situated in a peaceful setting, this property provides the perfect balance of country living with convenient access to shopping, dining, boating recreation and everyday amenities.
Designed for comfortable one-level living, this well-maintained home features hardwood and tile flooring throughout the main level, spacious living areas, abundant natural light, and a versatile floor plan ready for your personal updates and vision. A charming pebbled driveway leads to the attached garage, creating a welcoming first impression while providing ample parking for family and guests. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers abundant storage with custom cabinetry and pull-out drawers, while the center island features additional custom storage solutions to maximize organization and functionality.
A standout feature is the year-round all-glass sunroom, creating the perfect space to enjoy morning coffee, entertain guests, or simply relax while taking in the scenic Lake Hickory views and changing seasons.
The bathrooms have been enhanced with custom-built drawers and organizational storage, providing convenient and efficient use of space while maintaining a clean, organized feel. Throughout the home, you'll find quality craftsmanship and practical features designed for comfortable everyday living.
Step outside and discover your own private retreat. The charming gazebo offers a front-row seat to beautiful Lake Hickory views, while the expansive yard, mature landscaping, and nearly 3 acres provide endless possibilities for gardening, recreation, pets, or future enhancements.
Need additional space? The partial basement includes a workshop area ideal for hobbies, woodworking, projects, or extra storage. While portions of the basement are heated by baseboard heat and a wood burning stove, ceiling heights below seven feet prevent the area from being included in the home's heated living area calculation. Additional storage is available through a cellar located beneath the sunroom.
An approximately 12'x24' outbuilding further enhances the property's functionality, offering electricity and convenient drive-up access. A separate driveway extends to the rear of the property, providing easy access to the outbuilding and additional parking for vehicles, trailers, equipment, boats, or recreational toys. Whether used for lawn equipment, tools, workshop space, or storage, this building offers versatility well beyond that of a typical storage shed.
With solid all-brick construction, hardwood and tile flooring throughout the main level, custom storage features, a pebbled driveway leading to the attached garage, beautiful Lake Hickory views, abundant storage options, multiple outdoor living spaces, and nearly 3 acres of usable land, 5305 Icard Ridge Road presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful setting while creating the home you've always envisioned.
