About This Property
Coming Soon! Showings begin on 1/7/2026. Welcome to this charming home in NE Hickory, ideally located near Lenoir-Rhyne University, shopping, and restaurants in Viewmont. This home exudes warmth and character, featuring a step-down living room with a stunning brick fireplace that adds an inviting touch. The updated kitchen boasts upgraded stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a stylish tile backsplash. The spacious primary suite has been beautifully renovated, offering double sinks, a marble vanity, and a luxurious tile shower. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a tastefully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A large laundry room on the main level adds convenience, and the open staircase to the basement enhances the home's refined feel. The partially finished basement provides a fantastic space for recreation, whether you're watching movies or unwinding after a long day. There's also a garage workshop area, along with an additional unfinished space that offers plenty of storage options. Step outside and enjoy the cozy screened porch off the kitchen, as well as the large deck overlooking the fenced-in backyard. An impressive above-ground pool, surrounded by custom decking, offers the perfect spot to relax and cool off during the summer months. An inviting fire pit area adds warmth and charm to this backyard retreat. Situated on almost an acre, this home offers plenty of room for expansion, should the new owner desire. Homes like this don't come on the market often, so be sure to schedule a showing as soon as it becomes available!
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.
