About This Home
This home has always been a 'Beauty'! This is one of Hickory's most charming homes — and one of its rarest opportunities. A beautifully preserved 1956 classic on an exceptional 0.7-acre double lot with a pool on one of the best streets in town.
The Home features tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows with abundant natural light. A true living room, formal dining room, and spacious den overlooking a large pool. Timeless character and charm throughout.
The Updates (all 2026) include a brand new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, fully finished basement with flexible living space — home office, gym, or guest suite — plus a full bath.
The Lot is 0.7 acres on a double lot with mature trees that is nearly impossible to find this close to downtown.
Located within a few blocks of Downtown Hickory, you will hear the sounds of Oktoberfest in the Fall and the bands performing "Under the Sails" on Friday nights in late Spring/early Summer! Maybe even hear the announcers calling the Lenoir Rhyne Football games on Saturday in the Fall! Simply a great location! Hickory continues to be a great place to live, work and play.
This combination of character, updates, lot size, pool and location is extraordinarily rare. Don't miss it. Call me and lets get moving!
