Property Description
From the moment you arrive, the property stands apart. The lot size alone creates a sense of space that is uncommon in such a central location, offering room to spread out while keeping you close to many of Hickory's most popular destinations. Enjoy quick access to Lenoir-Rhyne University, Downtown Hickory, grocery options, local restaurants, shopping, parks, and everyday conveniences, all while coming home to a property that feels private, functional, and thoughtfully designed.
Inside, the current owners have completed extensive renovations throughout, creating a home that feels fresh, polished, and move-in ready. Tasteful updates, quality finishes, and intentional design choices can be found in every major living area. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz and granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and an inviting layout that blends beauty and functionality. Whether preparing everyday meals, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, this kitchen delivers the style and practicality today's buyers are looking for.
The main living areas offer a comfortable flow with updated finishes and a warm, welcoming feel. Natural light, thoughtful details, and the overall quality of the renovation help create a home that is both refined and easy to live in. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the floor plan provides flexibility for a variety of needs, including guest space, office space, creative use, or additional storage.
The primary suite is a standout feature of the home, offering a beautifully updated bathroom with custom tile work, a spacious walk-in shower, a freestanding soaking tub, and tasteful finishes that create a relaxing retreat. One of the most unique features of the primary suite is its direct access to a private sun porch, giving you a quiet space to enjoy morning coffee, unwind at the end of the day, or create a peaceful sitting area that feels connected to the outdoors.
For buyers needing more than a standard garage setup, this property is truly special. In addition to the attached 2-car garage, the detached 2-car garage has been converted into a heated and cooled workshop, creating a highly functional space for hobbies, projects, storage, equipment, creative work, fitness, or business-related use. This type of usable detached space is difficult to find, especially paired with a renovated home and a location this convenient.
The exterior offers even more appeal, with nearly an acre of land providing room for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, pets, recreation, or future possibilities. The combination of lot size, garage capacity, renovated living space, and proximity to town makes this property one of the most versatile offerings in the Hickory market.
1520 5th Street NE brings together convenience, space, design, and functionality in a way that few properties can. With extensive updates, custom finishes, a heated and cooled detached workshop, nearly an acre of land, and a location close to Downtown Hickory, Lenoir-Rhyne University, grocery, dining, and daily amenities, this home offers an uncommon opportunity for buyers seeking a move-in-ready property with features that go well beyond the ordinary.
