About the property

Brick Ranch on 3 Acres with Workshop near Lake Hickory

This single-story brick ranch sits on a rare, level three-acre parcel in Isaac Creek Estates — a quiet stretch of Hickory that offers room to breathe without sacrificing convenience. From the driveway you’ll notice the classic brick façade and mature plantings; step inside to 1,900 square feet of well-maintained living space where hardwood floors carry through the main rooms and built-in corner china cabinets anchor the formal dining area.

The kitchen is practical and comfortable with oak cabinets and granite countertops that read as durable and timeless. A living area centered on a gas-log fireplace transitions to a bright Florida room/sunroom that serves as a flexible third living space — it connects to both the main living area and the primary bedroom for an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and direct access to the sunroom for quiet mornings or late-night star-gazing.

Outside, the property's headline feature is its scale and utility: three acres afford privacy, a level lawn, and a detached 24' x 36' workshop with 10-foot ceilings, ideal for woodworking, car projects, or ancillary storage. Parking includes a two-car attached garage plus a two-car detached carport, giving generous covered parking and workspace. Utilities are a mix of municipal water and septic with efficient ductless heat pump HVAC systems.

Practical, comfortable, and quietly elegant, this home suits buyers who value a solid brick build, spacious outdoor acreage, and functional outbuildings. The property has been owner-occupied since 2010 and shows well; routine updates and a professional inspection are recommended to confirm the age and condition of the roof and HVAC. With Lake Hickory under three miles away, and Bethlehem Elementary just a mile from the driveway, this listing blends pastoral space with everyday accessibility.

Editorial market perspective

The Hickory / Isaac Creek Estates market is presently balanced, leaning slightly toward sellers due to restrained inventory. Area metrics show roughly 3.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market around 63 days — indicators of steady demand without the urgency of a hot market. Local median sale prices sit near $330,000, but large-lot single-family homes—especially those on multiple acres—trade above that median. Recent nearby closed comparables (within one mile) sold between approximately $500,000 and $550,000; a sales-comparison valuation for this 3BR/2BA brick ranch suggests a fair market band of $495K–$545K with a midpoint near $520K (≈ $274/sf).

Single-family ranches on acreage have remained desirable in this corridor given proximity to Lake Hickory and strong elementary/middle school ratings. For buyers, the current conditions offer a rational purchase environment: limited but present competition and consistent appreciation (roughly 5% year-over-year, ~25% over five years) support both primary-residence and long-term value plays. Sellers benefit from the property’s lot and workshop, which command a premium over standard suburban parcels. Active buyers should move decisively but expect typical contingencies and inspections; financing for properties on septic and larger lots may require early lender coordination.
