About This Home

Tucked inside the sought-after Crystal Falls Lake community, this stunning new construction modern farmhouse sits on a flat half-acre lot with peaceful views of Lake Hickory, the kind of setting that's becoming nearly impossible to find at this price point.

From the curb, the home makes an immediate impression. Crisp Hardie board siding, clean architectural lines, and timeless farmhouse details set the tone for what's waiting inside: a thoughtfully designed layout featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a dedicated home office, AND a spacious bonus room that easily functions as a 4th bedroom giving you the flexibility most homes in this price range simply don't offer. Whether you need a guest suite, a playroom, a media room, or a true fourth bedroom for a growing family, this floor plan adapts to your life. Add in the 2-car garage and elevated finishes throughout, and you have a home built to grow with you.

Step inside and you'll feel the difference right away. Every surface, every fixture, every detail has been intentionally selected to deliver a true luxury experience, the kind of leveled-up finishes that separate a home built with care from a home built to flip. The primary suite is anchored by an oversized walk-in closet built for real life, and the open-concept living spaces flow effortlessly from room to room, with the office and bonus room framed by natural light and views that make every morning feel like a getaway.

Outside, the flat half-acre lot is a rare find , usable, expansive, and ready for pets: a fire pit overlooking the lake, room for the kids and pets to run, or simply space to breathe. With Lake Hickory in view, this lot delivers the privacy and serenity buyers chase in this market without sacrificing convenience.

And the location? Truly unbeatable. You're less than 5 minutes from the newly constructed Sandbar Marina and Grill, just a few miles from Wittenburg Boating Access for easy days on the water, and only 15 minutes from the heart of downtown Hickory. With direct access to Highway 127 leading you straight into downtown, you get the privacy of a lakeside community without ever feeling far from the restaurants, shopping, and energy of the city. This is the kind of location buyers dream about, quiet when you want it, connected when you need it.

Families will appreciate the school district: Dudley Shoals Elementary, Granite Falls Middle, and South Caldwell High, a sought-after combination that drives long-term value in this area.

Modern farmhouse design. Lake views. Half an acre of flat, usable land. A flexible floor plan with both an office AND a bonus room that lives like a 4th bedroom. An unbeatable location with marina access, boating, and downtown Hickory just minutes away. And finishes that genuinely set a new standard.

This is the home you've been waiting for, in the location you love. Schedule your private showing today.
