Own one of Hickory’s most beautiful Colonial Revival homes listed in the historic registry and featured in From TAVERN to TOWN (pg. 169) by Leslie Keller, Hickory Landmarks Society. Nestled in the heart of one of Hickory’s most coveted neighborhoods, Oakwood, the Waker Lyerly Mansion, built in 1913, is available for purchase. It is within walking distance of Oakwood Elementary School, churches, shops, parks, and all the amenities of downtown city life. The interior boasts a collection of Colonial Revival mantels, coffered ceiling in the parlor, functional transoms over doors, and paneled wainscot in the dining room which features two built-in China cabinets. Vacant and ready to move in, buyers will be impressed with the quality craftmanship that features twelve-foot ceilings on the first floor and nine- foot ceilings on the second floor and original slow-growth oak floors throughout. The exquisitely designed, newly remodeled kitchen, features ceramic tile flooring, cherry cabinetry with lots of pullouts, new state-of-the-art appliances, hammered copper sink and exhaust hood over an induction range imported from Italy. The remodeled ensuite to the primary bedroom is approximately 260 sq. ft. with travertine throughout, water closet, garden tub, shower and carpeted closet area. Numerous wonderful features include six fireplaces, a climate-controlled wine cellar, a stunning staircase, sleeping porch, sunroom, garden shed/greenhouse and pocket doors hosting a six-foot opening. The full-sized attic and basement nearly double the square footage and add plenty of storage opportunity. Outdoor living spaces include a nearly 900 sq. ft. front porch with Porte Cochere and vast back deck overlooking a manicured rear lawn with tranquil landscaping. Excellent for entertaining! The extra wide front door is original and aids with moving in oversized furniture, paintings and more. New energy-saving windows were installed throughout, including the attic, basement and garage, in 2024. Both the roof and HVAC are in excellent condition. Do not pass up this opportunity to become a resident of the historic Oakwood Community.
