Fall in love with this exquisite custom built Executive Estate, privately nestled on approximately two acres & surrounded by the beauty of nature. Step inside and be instantly captivated by the breathtaking soaring 15-foot great room, where a stunning fireplace, flanked by custom built-ins, serves as the focal point, and walls of windows flood the space with natural light while framing peaceful views of the trees beyond. Step out onto the expansive upper deck to breathe in the fresh air and take in the serene setting. With 6,000 square feet of living space, across three thoughtfully designed levels, this home offers exceptional space for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The sophisticated dining room sets the stage for memorable holiday gatherings, while the designer chef’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring a dramatic waterfall island, updated quartz countertops, gas cooktop, a peninsula with seating for four, and a charming eat-in area overlooking the picturesque backyard. Start your mornings with coffee on the deck as you listen to the tranquil sounds of the nearby stream. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with heated floors, dual walk-in closets, a soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms each offer their own en-suite baths. The lower level is designed for relaxation and versatility. Unwind by the fireplace in the family room, curl up with a book on the expansive lower deck, or enjoy the additional two bedrooms with walkout access to the deck, plus a dedicated workout room. These rooms also provide flexibility for an additional home office or hobby space. Ideally located in the heart of Hickory, just minutes from downtown shops, restaurants, and Lake Hickory, this extraordinary property offers luxury, privacy, and convenience, all in one remarkable home.
