Welcome to 5305 Icard Ridge Road, Hickory, NC—a timeless all-brick ranch offering approximately 1,700 square feet of main-level living, plus an abundance of additional functional basement space, all perfectly positioned on nearly three private acres with beautiful views of Lake Hickory. Offering the tranquility of country living with the convenience of nearby shopping, dining, marinas, and everyday amenities, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, flexibility, and endless potential. Designed for comfortable one-level living, the home features hardwood and tile flooring throughout the main level, spacious living areas, abundant natural light, and a versatile floor plan ready for your personal vision. A charming pebbled driveway leads to the attached garage, creating a welcoming first impression while providing ample parking for family and guests. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers abundant custom cabinetry with pull-out drawers, while the center island provides additional built-in storage to maximize organization and functionality. One of the home's standout features is the year-round all-glass sunroom, providing the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, entertain guests, or simply relax while taking in the beautiful views of Lake Hickory throughout every season. The bathrooms have also been thoughtfully enhanced with custom-built storage drawers and organizational features, blending practicality with everyday convenience. Step outside to discover your own private retreat. A charming gazebo offers a front-row seat to the scenic lake views, while the expansive yard, mature landscaping, and nearly three acres of usable land provide endless opportunities for gardening, recreation, pets, or future enhancements. Need additional space? Beyond the home's finished heated living area, you'll appreciate a substantial amount of additional heated basement space that offers tremendous flexibility for a workshop, hobby room, fitness area, recreation room, or storage. Portions of the basement are heated by both baseboard heat and a wood-burning stove; however, because the ceiling height is just under seven feet, this area is not included in the home's official heated living area (HLA). Even so, it provides valuable functional square footage that can be enjoyed year-round. A separate cellar beneath the sunroom adds even more storage capacity. An approximately 12' x 24' outbuilding with electricity and convenient drive-up access further enhances the property's versatility. A separate driveway extends to the rear of the property, making it easy to access the outbuilding while providing additional parking for boats, trailers, RVs, recreational vehicles, or equipment. With solid all-brick construction, hardwood and tile flooring throughout the main level, custom storage features, a year-round sunroom, additional heated basement space, a versatile workshop, multiple outdoor living areas, beautiful Lake Hickory views, and nearly three acres of land, 5305 Icard Ridge Road presents a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful living while creating the home you've always envisioned.
