Description
Lakefront living on Lake Hickory, with no HOA! Thoughtfully and intentionally upgraded inside and out. This home pairs effortless water access with peaceful lake views from nearly every outdoor space. The private boat dock is a true showpiece. It has been extensively renovated with a new ramp, all-new floats replacing the original foam, and more than half of the deck boards replaced. A boat lift, added electrical service and outlets, lighting along the ramp, and a motion light at the boat slip entrance make it as functional as it is beautiful. A covered gazebo on the dock offers shaded seating for morning coffee, afternoons on the water, and unforgettable sunsets. Inside, the primary bedroom and bathroom are conveniently located on the main level. The primary bedroom has been refreshed with plank flooring and a new ceiling fan with remote, Bluetooth, and a dimmable LED light. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the lower level, along with a flex room with new ceiling fans. Both bathrooms feature shiplap ceilings. Step out onto the main-level deck to take in sweeping views of the lake, the boat dock, the beautifully kept yard, and a garden area ready for whatever you envision. Below, the screened-in lower patio offers lake views and ceiling fans, plus under-deck metal installed to limit rain intrusion. Retaining boxes with landscaping line the bank below the patio. New steps lead down to the lake with a vinyl handrail and a marine-quality stain applied in 2026. An additional deck was added behind the storage building to close in the area where the previous steps were removed. It includes an outlet for a future hot tub and was also finished with marine-quality stain in 2026. The exterior has been updated with new board and batten siding, all-new gutters, and motion lights at the corners of the home, two of which include cameras. A new HVAC system was installed in 2020. Storage is abundant. The 10x20 storage building includes a loft, electrical outlets throughout, lighting inside and out, and gutters. An 8x10 Suncast storage building in the backyard adds even more space. Since 2019, the front yard has been enhanced with a landscaped berm, shrubs, flowers, trees, and stonescaping, creating a polished first impression. With its upgraded dock, lake views, and the care that has gone into every detail, this Lake Hickory home is ready for its next owners to enjoy lake life to the fullest.
