Great location! 1940's charm! Move in ready! This quaint home is conveniently located within walking distance to downtown Hickory, Lenior Rhyne University and recreation areas. On your back deck you can hear the sounds from the Saturday Fall football games at LR. And even hear the music from Friday nights Music Under the Sails in downtown Hickory. To live in a city that's alive and well and be able to participate in it with a short walk or bicycle ride - that's special! The primary bedroom and bath take up the whole right side of the house. Big enough to act as a bedroom and have a sitting area! The home has an easy flow about it. In the living room, display your favorite collection of books and/or knick knacks on the built in bookshelves. Dining room has a beautiful light fixture and would make the perfect place for dinner parties. From the dining room continue into the kitchen and eat in area. All appliances stay! Main level also boasts a guest bedroom, a full guest bath and the laundry closet. Stackable washer and dryer stay! Original, 1940's hardwood floors throughout most of the main level! Love that! Upstairs has the third bedroom, a half bath and some flex space that can be used as an office, a 4th bedroom or a TV room!! Fenced in backyard. Backyard lighting and shed stay. Come and take a look.
