About this home
Great Investment opportunity for short or long term rental. This recently updated Craftsman-style all-brick bungalow located in the heart of downtown Hickory with close proximity to the SALT Block Arts & Science Campus, City Walk corridor, dining, shopping, medical facilities, and Lenoir-Rhyne University. This thoughtfully improved home blends classic architecture with extensive modern updates, offering a rare combination of character, efficiency, and convenience in one of Hickory’s most desirable in-town locations.
The home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 1,755 square feet of finished living space, along with multiple covered outdoor areas designed for everyday enjoyment. A welcoming covered front porch creates strong curb appeal, while a private covered back patio provides a comfortable outdoor extension of the living space. The full brick exterior delivers long-term durability and low exterior maintenance.
Since 2021, the property has undergone a comprehensive series of improvements that significantly enhance both functionality and peace of mind. Updates include an expanded newly paved driveway, all-new windows, gutter guards, new sod and professional landscaping, and fresh exterior paint and stain completed to historical standards. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new interior paint throughout, new carpet upstairs, new laundry room flooring, updated lighting in the kitchen and dining areas, new sinks and toilets, new garbage disposal, new fencing, and additional landscape improvements. Major mechanical upgrades include a new gas pack heating system and new air conditioning system, providing year-round comfort and improved energy efficiency.
The main level offers a functional and flexible layout with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dedicated laundry room, and spacious living and dining areas. The kitchen features generous cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and ample storage, opening into a breakfast nook and adjacent dining area—ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Natural light fills the living spaces, highlighting the home’s original charm and thoughtful updates.
Upstairs, a versatile bonus room with a half bath provides additional flexibility for a home office, creative space, or guest use. This area includes approximately 171 square feet and is equipped with a new mini-split system for independent climate control. (This space is not included in heated square footage due to ceiling height.) Covered rear parking and a fenced yard further enhance usability and convenience.
This property’s location places you near downtown Hickory’s growing arts, culture, and dining scene, including the SALT Block campus, museums, performance venues, greenway connections, and community events. Access to healthcare, recreation, and everyday services is close by, making this an excellent option for professionals, remote workers, and those seeking a lifestyle-oriented downtown setting.
With its extensive updates, timeless brick construction, covered outdoor spaces, and highly sought-after location, 609 2nd Street NE offers move-in-ready living with long-term value in Hickory, North Carolina....
