Community: Hickory in Burke County
Welcome to your own private retreat in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, where peaceful surroundings, beautiful seasonal mountain views and custom craftsmanship come together. Perched near the top of a .83-acre lot in the desirable Oakmont community, this lovingly maintained custom-built home has had only two owners and offers a wonderful blend of privacy, comfort and convenience. Enjoy breathtaking views from the covered front porch, especially during the cooler months when the mountains become even more visible, while still being convenient to Hickory and approximately an hour from Asheville, Boone and Blowing Rock. Inside, the main level welcomes you with an inviting foyer, gleaming real hardwood floors and an open floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious family room features a gas fireplace and flows beautifully into the kitchen, which offers rich cherry cabinetry, double wall ovens, a breakfast nook and a refrigerator that will remain with the home. Just off the kitchen is a versatile flex space perfect for a home office, workout room, keeping room or whatever best suits your lifestyle. The open dining area provides an ideal space for gatherings, while the nearby laundry room adds convenience, with the washer and dryer also remaining. The primary suite is privately located on the opposite side of the main level and features a spacious bath with a double-sink vanity, Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Upstairs, you will find three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom thoughtfully designed with separate vanity areas, a loft and an open overlook above the dining area. Outside, relax on the stone patio just off the kitchen, surrounded by an eight-foot privacy fence in the rear for added seclusion. From the mountain views and sounds of nature to the thoughtful layout and custom details throughout, this home offers a peaceful setting that truly feels like your own little slice of heaven.
