This two-story weatherboarded home embodies the craftsmanship and elegance of its era, offering timeless architectural details alongside modern possibilities for restoration. Originally constructed for Mrs. Essie Carpenter Murphy, widow of Dr. Joseph Lorenzo Murphy, minister of Corinth Reformed Church, the home later became the residence of her daughter Mary and son-in-law John T. McFarland, whose family name it still bears. Its legacy is woven into Hickory’s rich cultural fabric, standing as a testament to enduring beauty and community heritage. The exterior showcases hallmark Colonial Revival features including a low hip roof, symmetrical fenestration, exposed rafter ends, and a welcoming front entrance porch supported by square posts. A screened summer porch and expansive rear deck extend the living space outdoors, perfect for gatherings or quiet reflection. Inside, nearly 3,000 square feet of living space offers both grandeur and warmth. The formal living and dining rooms highlight original hardwood floors, crown moldings, and two fireplaces that anchor the home’s character. A statement staircase greets visitors with period charm, while the oversized kitchen provide opportunities for modern updates. The first floor also includes a powder room, laundry area, and inviting spaces for entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, each with natural light and historic detailing. and two full baths. The thoughtful layout balances private retreats with shared family spaces. The basement adds utility, while the cleared lot offers potential for gardens or outdoor enjoyment. Beyond its architectural appeal, the Murphy-McFarland House is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hickory’s history. Located within walking distance of downtown Hickory and the SALT Block, it connects past and present with ease. Whether preserved in its original glory or thoughtfully updated, this home invites its next steward to honor its legacy while creating new memories. The Murphy-McFarland House is more than a residence—it is a story of faith, family, and heritage, waiting to be cherished anew. The current owner installed two new HVAC systems in 2024 and had the crawlspace area encapsulated. New Insulation in Attic and Crawl Space. Removed the old Boiler System and Asbestos Abatement. Certificate of Mold Analysis. All of these documents are available under attachments.
