Architectural Narrative

Welcome home to this adorable, beautifully updated bungalow in one of Hickory’s most desirable locations, and with no HOA dues! Perfectly positioned across from Jaycee Park and Hickory City Park, this home offers easy access to green space and recreation, with the ever-popular Riverwalk just beyond. Inside, you’ll find a move-in-ready interior featuring fresh paint throughout and brand-new LVP flooring in two rooms, complemented by hardwood floors in the living room, office/flex space, and bedrooms. The inviting living room showcases a woodburning fireplace with brick surround, white decorative mantle, and damper, plus a convenient coat closet in the front foyer. The dining room, accented by a pretty chandelier, flows effortlessly between the living room and kitchen. The kitchen features freshly painted sage cabinets, a sink overlooking the side yard, a stainless gas range with built-in microwave above, and a stainless double-door refrigerator with freezer drawer. Additional living spaces include a tiled family room with direct access to the back deck, an office or flex space with built-in bookcases and closet, a flex space at the front of the home with tiled foor and 2 brick walls (side porch that was enclosed), and a bright sunroom at the back, offering flexible space and abundant natural light. The primary bedroom features an ensuite full bath with tub/shower combo, a second closet, and a convenient laundry area, while the secondary bedroom is served by a beautifully tiled full bath with shower off the hallway with linen closet. Vinyl replacement windows were installed previously, adding efficiency and comfort, and the roof was replaced in 2016. A partial basement (accessed from outside the home) is a great place for storing your lawn and garden equipment. Home comes with a 1-year home warranty paid by the seller! With its charming character, thoughtful updates, and premium park-side setting, this bungalow with a 2-car carport is a rare find offering both lifestyle and location.
