About This Property
This home has always been a 'Beauty'! This is one of Hickory's most charming homes — and one of its rarest opportunities. A beautifully preserved 1956 classic on an exceptional 0.7-acre double lot with a pool on one of the best streets in town. The Home features tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows with abundant natural light. A true living room, formal dining room, and spacious den overlooking a large pool. Timeless character and charm throughout. The Updates (all 2026) include a brand new roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, fully finished basement with flexible living space — home office, gym, or guest suite — plus a full bath. The Lot is 0.7 acres on a double lot with mature trees that is nearly impossible to find this close to downtown. Located within a few blocks of Downtown Hickory, you will hear the sounds of Oktoberfest in the Fall and the bands performing "Under the Sails" on Friday nights in late Spring/early Summer! Maybe even hear the announcers calling the Lenoir Rhyne Football games on Saturday in the Fall! Simply a great location! Hickory continues to be a great place to live, work and play. This combination of character, updates, lot size, pool and location is extraordinarily rare. Don't miss it. Call me and lets get moving! --

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.
