Just 15 minutes from Hickory, this beautifully maintained century-old farmhouse-style home offers something increasingly hard to find - original character, over an acre of land, and the charm of small-town living. Situated on 1.35 acres and including an additional lot, the home features 2 bedrooms, 1 updated full bath, and approximately 1,600 square feet. Inside, original hardwood floors, detailed molding, fireplace mantels, and built-in storage in the dining room and hallway reflect the craftsmanship of another era. The open dining and family rooms create a welcoming gathering space, while the traditional kitchen includes a cozy breakfast nook. An extra-large walk-in closet near the hall built-ins provides valuable additional storage, and the new washer and dryer remain. Enjoy morning coffee on the rocking-chair front porch or relax on the newer rear deck with plenty of room for dining and lounging while overlooking open green space, mature trees, and the occasional passing deer. Two detached sheds provide additional storage, and a large concrete area offers flexible space for parking, equipment, or recreation. Sidewalks connect to nearby schools, parks, restaurants, and town amenities. With Hickory just minutes away and Statesville approximately 20 minutes away, this well-cared-for home offers a wonderful combination of convenience, land, history, and classic Americana charm, ready for its next owner to carry the story forward.
