Description

Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street, 242 Hickory Rd offers the kind of simple, laid-back living people dream about. This charming 2-bedroom home sits on a peaceful ¼-acre wooded lot, where mature trees create a canopy of color in the fall and a private retreat year-round. Every day feels a little slower here… mornings with coffee on the patio, evenings listening to the wind through the trees, and the occasional deer wandering by to say hello. Inside, the home is cozy, updated, and effortlessly...Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end street, 242 Hickory Rd offers the kind of simple, laid-back living people dream about. This charming 2-bedroom home sits on a peaceful ¼-acre wooded lot, where mature trees create a canopy of color in the fall and a private retreat year-round. Every day feels a little slower here… mornings with coffee on the patio, evenings listening to the wind through the trees, and the occasional deer wandering by to say hello. Inside, the home is cozy, updated, and effortlessly functional. New floors, refreshed paint, newer appliances, and an updated kitchen add comfort and dependability. Spring 2024 brought brand-new windows, filling the living spaces with natural light while boosting energy efficiency. Fiber-optic internet keeps you connected with ease—work, stream, or game without interruption. The walk-out basement expands your possibilities, and the foundation comes fully secured with a transferrable lifetime warranty from Wood’s Basement Systems. Outside, the new patio and beautiful pergola bring the backyard to life—perfect for summer cookouts, quiet weekend lounging, or gathering with friends under the stars. Major systems give peace of mind: a new roof summer 2025, routinely serviced HVAC, newer water heater, and maintenance-free gutter guards that keep things simple. If you’re seeking a slower pace, wooded privacy, and a home that’s been thoughtfully improved from top to bottom, this is your sanctuary.
