About This Property
Charming vintage home in the well-loved Forest Hills subdivision, ideally located near the new Arts District, Aviation & River Walks, Lake Hickory, parks, and tennis courts. This well-kept brick home offers over 1600 SQFT of heated living space with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, blending classic character with thoughtful updates. Step inside to a welcoming living room featuring a large window seat framed by built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace—a perfect cozy gathering spot. A separate dining room with chair-rail molding adds traditional charm. The sunroom, complete with built-ins and abundant natural light, opens to a covered rear deck built in 2019, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen includes all appliances purchased in 2019, and the full bath was beautifully renovated in 2019. A standout feature is the extra-large laundry room off the sunroom—offering excellent storage and potential for a future second bath addition. Major updates include: • All windows replaced in 2019 • Front and rear doors replaced in 2019 • HVAC system replaced in May 2026 • Garage door replaced in May 2026 • Roof replaced in 2012 Mostly original hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by some LVP. The exterior is primarily brick with vinyl accents on the rear. The large, level, fenced backyard provides wonderful outdoor space, and an outbuilding remains for additional storage. This home is full of character, lovingly maintained, and situated in one of Hickory’s most established and convenient neighborhoods.
About the Neighborhood
Homes for sale in 28601 place buyers in Hickory, the Catawba County seat and one of the most economically diverse and culturally rich small cities in the North Carolina Piedmont, approximately 60 miles northwest of Charlotte via I-40. Hickory's residential landscape spans a remarkable architectural range — from the stately Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes of the Oakwood Historic District and the grand early 20th-century estates along Third Avenue NE to mid-century brick ranches in established neighborhoods and newer construction responding to continued growth. The revitalized Downtown Hickory corridor along Union Square delivers an increasingly celebrated independent restaurant and craft beverage scene, while the Hickory Metro Convention Center and Lenoir-Rhyne University anchor significant employment and cultural activity. The Catawba Science Center and the SALT Block cultural campus provide distinctive arts and educational anchors unique to the region. Major employers including Corning, CommScope, and a robust furniture and advanced manufacturing base make Hickory one of the most employment-diverse cities in western North Carolina. The 28601 real estate market delivers substantial architectural character and genuine urban amenity at price points that remain highly competitive relative to Charlotte's suburban markets.
