Welcome to 5305 Icard Ridge Road, Hickory, NC-a timeless all-brick ranch offering approximately 1,700 square feet of main-level living, plus a spacious year-round all-glass sunroom and an abundance of additional functional heated basement space, all nestled on nearly three private acres with lovely views of Lake Hickory. A charming covered front porch welcomes you home, while the attached double main-level garage provides everyday convenience and ample storage.
Just minutes away, Rivers Edge Marina offers convenient access to Lake Hickory with boat slips and storage available, while the nearby Wittenburg Access Area provides a public boat launch, making it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and everything Lake Hickory has to offer. Offering the tranquility of country living with the convenience of nearby shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, flexibility, and the sought-after Lake Hickory lifestyle.
Designed for comfortable one-level living, the home features hardwood and tile flooring throughout the main level, spacious living areas filled with natural light, and a versatile floor plan ready for your personal vision. The well-appointed kitchen features abundant custom cabinetry with convenient pull-out drawers and an impressive oversized center island, creating the perfect gathering space for meal preparation, casual dining, and entertaining.
One of the home's most inviting spaces is the expansive year-round all-glass sunroom, where walls of windows frame the beautiful Lake Hickory views. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, entertaining family and friends, or simply relaxing at the end of the day, this light-filled space allows you to enjoy the beauty of every season from the comfort of home. The bathrooms have also been thoughtfully enhanced with custom-built storage drawers and organizational features, blending everyday practicality with timeless appeal.
Step outside to discover your own private retreat. The welcoming front porch and charming gazebo each offer wonderful places to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings and 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.
Beyond the home's finished heated living area, you'll appreciate a substantial amount of additional heated basement space offering exceptional 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 year-round functional space that significantly enhances the home's versatility. A separate cellar beneath the sunroom offers even more convenient storage.
An approximately 12' x 24' outbuilding with electricity and convenient drive-up access further expands the property's possibilities. A separate driveway extends to the rear of the property, making it easy to access the outbuilding while providing additional parking for boats, trailers, campers, RVs, recreational vehicles, or equipment.
