A charming gazebo offers a front-row seat to the scenic lake views, while the expansive yard, mature landscaping, and nearly three acres of usable land provide endless opportunities for gardening, recreation, pets, or future enhancements. Need additional space? Beyond the home’s finished heated living area, you’ll appreciate a substantial amount of additional heated basement space that offers tremendous flexibility for a workshop, hobby room, fitness area, recreation room, or storage. Portions of the basement are heated by both baseboard heat and a wood-burning stove; however, because the ceiling height is just under seven feet, this area is not included in the home’s official heated living area (HLA). Even so, it provides valuable functional square footage that can be enjoyed year-round. A separate cellar beneath the sunroom adds even more storage capacity. An approximately 12′ x 24′ outbuilding with electricity and convenient drive-up access further enhances the property’s versatility. A separate driveway extends to the rear of the property, making it easy to access the outbuilding while providing additional parking for boats, trailers, RVs, recreational vehicles, or equipment. With solid all-brick construction, hardwood and tile flooring throughout the main level, custom storage features, a year-round sunroom, additional heated basement space, a versatile workshop, multiple outdoor living areas, beautiful Lake Hickory views, and nearly three acres of land, 5305 Icard Ridge Road presents a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful living while creating the home you’ve always envisioned.
