Maiden is the kind of town where your neighbors know your name and everything you need is a short commute away. This 1905 home at 110 N Main Avenue delivers original craftsmanship with modern comfort on a 0.33-acre corner lot. The wraparound porch greets you first, with a screened section for bug-free evenings. From that porch you can see Maiden Elementary just beyond the new lap and grass area where the old elementary school once stood. Inside, find beadboard ceilings, decorative columns, crown molding, and a gas log fireplace with its original mantel still intact after more than a century. The kitchen was renovated with a center island, breakfast bar seating for three, and laminate floors. Spacious bedrooms and generous living areas give everyone room to breathe. The basement offers workshop and storage space, and the detached 2-car carport provides covered parking with circular drive access. A shed with electricity plus a paver lean-to creates an ideal outdoor grilling spot. From your front porch you can commute to the Town Gazebo, Carolina Thread Trail, Maiden Municipal Park, the splash pad, local restaurants, and the recreation center. Maiden has invested in its future with a new town hall, new fire station, new elementary school, and new high school. The town offers a dog park, playgrounds, basketball courts, picnic shelters, softball fields, and community events year-round. Commute to Hickory in 20 minutes for major retail and medical. Charlotte is under an hour away. If you've been looking for a place that feels like home the moment you pull in the driveway, this is it: come claim your corner of Maiden and settle into the kind of small-town living most people only dream about.
