Modern design, elevated finishes, and a location that speaks for itself. Sitting on just over half an acre directly across from Rock Barn Golf and Spa in Conover, this 3,000+ square foot home puts one of North Carolina's most desirable courses right at your doorstep without the golf community HOA dues. Natural light pours through an open concept main level anchored by a stunning kitchen featuring Cafe appliances, a gas range, farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, and an oversized island with built in storage. The layout flows directly into the living space so conversation never stops while you cook. A full prep kitchen adds serious function and additional storage, and a main level office with detailed trim walls offers a quiet place to work. Engineered hardwood and tile run throughout, with tile showers in every bath and warm gold accents carried through the home. The primary suite offers a custom walk in closet and a spa inspired bath with the soaking tub set inside the tiled shower. Built in cabinetry in the laundry room keeps everything in its place. Outside, brick with hardboard accents, a large covered back patio, a level backyard with room to gather and let pets run, and a two car garage. All natural gas. Location is the quiet advantage. I-40 access at Rock Barn Road is under 2 minutes. Downtown Hickory is 12 miles, roughly 16 to 18 minutes. The nearest full service grocery is 5 miles or about 10 minutes in Conover, with Publix and Lowes Foods 13 miles or 15 to 18 minutes into Hickory. Uptown Charlotte is 57 miles, right at 1 hour, and Charlotte Douglas International is 55 miles or about 55 minutes. Boone and the Blue Ridge sit 50 miles north on US-321, roughly 1 hour and 10 minutes, with Blowing Rock slightly closer. This one has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
