What a cream puff! This adorable bungalow in the Hillcrest area close to downtown Hickory oozes charm inside and out. The inviting front porch, large enough for a sitting area, says "Welcome Home!" Inside, you'll love the spacious entry area that flows into the living room, the high ceilings, the original wood floors & smart layout. The fireplace with a granite hearth in the LR is for aesthetics only - it has been closed off and is not functional. The kitchen offers updated cabinetry, granite countertops, large pantry, and dining area.Two good-sized bedrooms plus an updated bathroom which connects to one of the bedrooms. The laundry room/mud room off the kitchen leads to the stone paver patio overlooking the large back yard which is ready for you to add your own grill, fire pit & party lights! Roof & gutters w/leaf guards replaced in 2020. Gas furnace/Central AC "gas pack" replaced in 2022. Large .47 acre fairly level lot.
