This comfortable single-story ranch on 26th St NE offers rare yard space inside city limits — 0.43 acres of level, usable land ready for gardening, play, or future expansion. With approximately 1,032 sq ft, the home provides a practical layout: living area, a kitchen equipped with a gas cooktop and standard appliances, one full bath, and two bedrooms (one currently configured as a generous walk-in closet that can be converted back to a bedroom easily).
The property retains mid-century character and is priced to reflect both its condition and the significant lot premium. The HVAC system includes forced air with a heat pump and natural gas; cooling is provided by window units — replacing with central air would be one of the most impactful buyer improvements. Laundry hookups are conveniently located in the carport area, and the attached carport provides covered off-street parking.
What sets this home apart is the outdoor potential: build a workshop, add a garage or deck, or create an expansive garden without leaving the lot. The home sits in an established neighborhood of single-story ranches and bungalows, a short drive to downtown Hickory shops, restaurants, and community amenities. Perfect for a buyer seeking a modest, move-in-possible home with clear upside, or an investor looking to stabilize and upgrade for rental or resale.
Schedule a time to tour this property and see the lot for yourself — at this price point, homes with this much land in the city are uncommon.
