So much to love in this NE Hickory home! Fresh interior/exterior paint (2020/21) and an open main-level floor plan make entertaining easy. The updated kitchen (2010) features custom cabinetry, backsplash, and appliances, plus a sunny flex space—ideal for a home office or playroom. Real hardwood floors flow throughout! Bathrooms shine with updated cabinetry, tiled showers, and a jetted tub. The lower level offers a private in-law suite/apartment with its own kitchen, bath, living room, bedroom w/fireplace, office, separate entrance, and driveway—perfect for multi-generational living or rental income (10+ years rental history). Additional basement perks: storage, laundry, and a workshop with garage door. Enjoy the in-ground pool, outdoor dining area, updated fencing, and detached 2-car garage/workshop on 1.2+ acres—close to everything Hickory offers!
