About the home

MAIN-CHANNEL LAKE HICKORY WATERFRONT + PRIVATE DOUBLE BOAT DOCK + COMMUNITY POOL! Set in sought-after Moore’s Ferry, this exceptional 5-bedroom waterfront home offers approximately 141 feet of shoreline, year-round main-channel views, and a private covered double dock—all from a beautifully positioned 0.46-acre lot. Step inside and the lake immediately takes center stage. Walls of windows fill the home with natural light and showcase sweeping water views, while expansive new Trex decking creates an incredible extension of the living space for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing by the water. The main level features a dramatic two-story foyer, formal living and dining rooms, and a spacious lakefront great room with beamed ceilings, gas-log fireplace, and wet bar. The updated kitchen is designed for gathering with an oversized island, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a bayed breakfast area overlooking Lake Hickory. A private guest suite with full bath, laundry room, and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, wake up to the water from the impressive primary suite featuring panoramic lake views, a fireplace, bay-window sitting area, oversized closet, and spa-inspired bath with heated tile floors, dual vanities, and tiled walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms offer generous space, including two with private lake-view balconies. Major exterior improvements add even more value, including a new seawall, new stairs to the lake, expansive Trex decking, freshly painted exterior, and new gutters. A full unfinished, plumbed basement provides tremendous opportunity for future living space, recreation, fitness, theater, or guest accommodations. From morning coffee overlooking the water to afternoons boating, kayaking, fishing, and paddleboarding from your own dock, this property delivers the Lake Hickory lifestyle buyers are searching for. Neighborhood pool access and low HOA dues complete this rare opportunity in one of NW Hickory’s desirable waterfront communities.
