Picture a home that doesn’t just check boxes—it gives you the space to live, work, entertain, and grow. Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in desirable NE Hickory, this immaculate two-story home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple heating zones, and more than 3,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including a fully finished walkout basement. Natural hardwood floors flow throughout much of the home. The main level features a spacious living room with a vented gas fireplace, a formal dining room, a versatile flex space ideal for a home office or sitting room, and a newly renovated half bathroom. The beautifully appointed kitchen includes granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and a stylish tile backsplash. Upstairs, the inviting primary suite features a custom walk-in closet and a spalike en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a tiled walk-in shower with a frameless glass door. Three additional bedrooms, a full hallway bathroom with dual sinks, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the upper level. The fully finished walkout basement provides even more versatility, offering a full bathroom, entertainment and flex spaces, two large storage closets, and a designated area perfect for creating a dry bar. The oversized attached garage also provides built-in storage cabinets and an extended area that could be used as a workshop or additional storage. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive. The newly renovated wraparound porch includes a partially screened-in area, ceiling fans, and a beautiful tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, creating an inviting setting for relaxing or entertaining. Large steps lead to an expansive 22x88 concrete patio with an additional 8x80 gravel extension—providing plenty of room for outdoor games, a fire pit, or large gatherings. Beyond the patio, an approximately 35x110 area of flat, usable land offers possibilities for a pool, playset, garden, or expanded outdoor living space. With solar panels, multiple living areas, exceptional storage, and generous indoor-outdoor entertaining space, this Forest Creek Estates home offers the flexibility to complement every stage of life.
