Quaint stone cottage home located just minutes from everything Hickory has to offer. This home was lovingly built by the former occupant and his father in the late 1950's. Quality stone work on the outside invites you to step onto the front porch. Enter into the Living Room with stunning knotty pine walls and a corner crab-apple stone fireplace with woodstove insert. There is also a gas wall heater for added heat. Adjoining the LR is a cozy Den/Study also with knotty pine walls. Step into the large kitchen with handmade knotty pine cabinets. From the kitchen, access the single garage. A back porch is accessible from the Living Room and overlooks a huge backyard, complete with storage building. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete this special home. The stone work is wonderful - the cellar has stone flooring. Home is on city water and sewer - well and septic on property are no longer used. Seller has shared this history of the home: "The house was constructed in 1957 by our grandfather Patrick Stephens and our father, Dale Stephens. Patrick was a renowned stone mason in the Catawba Valley, having worked on numerous houses in the area during this era. This stonework was handcrafted and unique, with a handful of similar homes that can still be found in the local area."
