1053 20th Ave NW Hickory, NC 28601

It will be love at first sight as soon as you step inside this impeccably maintained home! Located in Lakeland Park, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in NW Hickory and where--because few waterfront homes were built--scenic lake views are plentiful. For a nominal yearly fee, neighbors can enjoy the sandy beach & dock. The virtually maintenance free exterior will leave more time to enjoy the gorgeous interior as well as the private, fenced backyard from your peaceful and relaxing deck. All significant updates have been completed in the past 10 years, and the home feels brand new. Open concept plan on main level begins in the large & sunny Kitchen, featuring granite countertops, tile backsplash, SS appliances, abundant cabinet/counter space, and a handy breakfast bar. The shiny hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level, and contrasts beautifully with the smooth ceiling & recessed lighting in large/open Dining & Living Room. Classic brick corner fireplace anchors the welcoming and comfortable Den. Sizable Primary Bedroom suite offers aesthetic electric fireplace for warmth and a cozy focal point, while the accompanying bathroom impresses with double vanity & updated walk-in shower. Versatile basement with full bath is an ideal rec/sports room and accesses the 10' x 14' patio, while the 4th BR would function as a perfect home office. The charming 10' x 16" screened porch just may be your favorite space for morning coffee or a good book. Convenient location just 5 minutes to Hwy 321 (an hour to Charlotte or Blowing Rock/Boone), and 10 minutes to I-40. In addition, two large city parks are a short walk away, as is Riverwalk, a segment of the hugely popular Hickory Trail project. (https://www.hickorync.gov/hickory-trail)
