560 20th avenue court nw

Grand, welcoming, and undeniably handsome, 560 20th Ave Court NW in Hickory is a residence where traditional charm meets high-octane modern luxury. From the moment you step inside, the home’s tall ceilings, beautiful flooring, and rich wood-paneled walls set a tone of timeless elegance. The main level is a masterclass in functional design, featuring a remodeled kitchen with built-in Miele appliances and a hand-stamped copper sink that flows effortlessly into the dining areas. Tucked between the den and dining room is a true showstopper: a butler’s pantry that feels like a private lounge, complete with dark wood cabinetry, a wine cooler, an ice maker, and its own dishwasher for seamless hosting. The upper levels offer a series of delightful surprises, starting with a primary suite that includes a private screened-in porch, giving you the serene sensation of sitting in a treehouse. Beyond the second floor’s additional bedrooms and Jack-and-Jill bath, a staircase leads to a magnificent third-level "princess tower." This sun-drenched sanctuary features a half-moon stained glass window, a full bath, and built-in bookshelves, making it the perfect footprint for a second primary suite, a quiet home office, or a guest retreat. The lower level continues to impress with a full bar, a cozy living room with gas logs, and a versatile flex space currently outfitted with a Murphy bed and a Peloton treadmill—both of which remain for the new owners. Outside, the experience continues with a multilevel deck system featuring a natural gas grill connection, a six-person hot tub, and a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace accompanied by an outdoor flat-screen TV. Equipped for the future, this home includes smart technology throughout, a hardwired Level 2 EV charger in the oversized garage, two brand-new HVAC units, and an on-demand gas water heater. Perfectly situated at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this property offers quick access to Downtown Hickory and Lake Hickory, proving that you truly can have it all.
