Some homes are built with a quality you just can't find anymore, and this home is one of them. This all-brick ranch offers easy, low-maintenance one-level living on a corner lot of almost half an acre. It's located in sought-after NE Hickory, outside city limits, so there are NO city taxes. Pull up a rocker on the covered front porch and you'll see right away how well this home has been cared for. Inside, natural hardwood floors, fresh paint, and a brand-new water heater make this home truly move-in ready. The main living area opens to a roomy kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinets, stainless appliances, and an eye-catching backsplash. When you want a second place to spread out, the den offers a stunning stone fireplace, and the enclosed, covered sunroom is ready for morning coffee, game nights, or hosting friends year-round. The bedrooms are generously sized, and everything you need is on one floor with no stairs to navigate. The primary includes its own half bath, which could be easily expanded into a full bath, turning this into a true two-bath home and building equity along the way. The oversize bathroom has granite counters and a tub/shower combo. Outside, the durable brick exterior keeps upkeep to a minimum, and the large, flat yard gives you plenty of room for play, gardening, pets, or future outdoor projects. Location is a big plus too: you're just minutes from major shopping, Lake Hickory, and local parks, and within the St. Stephens school district. Schedule your showing today!
