Welcome to 484 Hilltop Road, Lincolnton NC—a true 1920s farmhouse thoughtfully renovated to preserve the character you can’t recreate while delivering modern comfort. This is the real thing, not a cookie-cutter “farmhouse style” home in a tract neighborhood. Inside, 10-foot ceilings elevate the entire feel of the home, creating an airy, open atmosphere that enhances the spacious layout. The open-concept kitchen and dining area feature quartz countertops, all new fixtures, and real hardwood floors—not LVP. A huge walk-in pantry and oversized laundry room keep life’s essentials organized and out of sight. Large rooms and a primary bedroom on the main level make everyday living easy and comfortable. This move-in ready renovated farmhouse offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a new roof, new windows, and all new mechanicals—providing peace of mind with timeless style. Set on a .83-acre lot with a concrete driveway, enjoy space, privacy, and freedom with no HOA, no restrictions, and no city taxes. Close to town yet worlds away from tract living, this home stands apart among Lincolnton NC homes for sale.
Assignable contract available - Priced at just 58% of tax value! Investors and Builders TAKE NOTE: Great size buildable lot on peaceful country road. An existing 1920 home sits near the road and does need work. A survey would be needed, but county zoning department suggests that the lot can be divided into 3 parcels, two of which would allow for a duplex to be built on each. PLEASE NOTE: Do not stop to walk the lot or disrupt the current occupant of the home. Site has access to city water tap but would need septic put in for any new parcels made. (Current home assumed to have septic and well). Also listed as a residential MLS 4033781.
