About This Home
Rarely does a property offer this much flexibility, privacy & opportunity in the heart of Viewmont. Nestled on a beautifully wooded 1/2 acre lot, this meticulously maintained home invites you to slow down & enjoy life, whether you're sipping coffee on the expansive back deck, watching pets play in the picket fenced area of the back yard or gathering with family & friends beneath the shade of mature trees. Designed with today's lifestyle in mind, this unique property features a fully equipped lower level apartment with its own private entrance. This is an ideal space for multigenerational living, extended guests, a caregiver suite or even potential rental income. Warm & inviting, the apartment offers a spacious bedroom and an oversized ensuite bath with jetted tub, walk-in shower, seated vanity & thoughtful built-ins. The open concept kitchen with center island flows seamlessly into the cozy living room, anchored by a gas log fireplace, while a sunroom provides the perfect spot to relax & unwind. The main level of the home feels equally welcoming, offering comfortable everyday living with a bright living room, full kitchen, two bedrooms, common bath with dual sinks and granite counters & separate laundry room. Upstairs, a private retreat awaits. The primary suite occupies its own level, creating a peaceful escape complete with dual walk-in closets (one is so large that it doubles as an office), abundant storage & an ensuite bath featuring dual vanities & a walk-in shower. Additional walk-in attic space affords even more interior storage. There is an unfinished area of the basement (heated & cooled) that exits to the side yard & functions as a utility room, offering workshop space, if needed. Whether you're seeking space for loved ones, room to grow, or simply a home that adapts to life's changing seasons, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of comfort, versatility & privacy you've been waiting for, within walking distance to Hickory's Lenoir-Rhyne University.
