Welcome Home
Tucked into one of Hickory’s most convenient SW corridors, 424-426 2nd St SW is a brand-new, never-lived-in townhome built for the way you actually want to live. You’ll be the very first to call it home — fresh finishes, untouched spaces, and that crisp new-construction feel you can’t fake.
Three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and roughly 1,333 thoughtfully laid-out square feet give you real room to spread out. The private back deck is your own quiet outdoor escape — perfect for morning coffee, weekend grilling, or simply unwinding after a long day.
Inside the Home
• 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with a smart, livable layout
• Approximately 1,333 square feet of brand-new, never-occupied space
• Private back deck — your own outdoor retreat
• Fresh, modern finishes throughout
• Move-in ready — be the very first resident

The Location — Minutes to Downtown Hickory
Just a short drive (roughly two miles) from Union Square and the heart of revitalized Downtown Hickory, this address puts the city’s best food, music, parks, and shopping practically at your doorstep. It’s also right in the orbit of Lenoir-Rhyne University, the Catawba Science Center, and the SALT Block cultural campus.
Downtown Hickory has been beautifully reimagined in recent years — the City Walk multi-use trail, the redesigned Union Square, and an ever-growing lineup of locally owned restaurants and shops have made it one of the most exciting small-city downtowns in the Carolinas.
Live Like a Local

A few favorites within easy reach:
• Union Square — 20+ shops and restaurants, weekly farmers market, concerts, and outdoor events
• Olde Hickory Station — seasonal Southern fare and Olde Hickory Brewery beers
• Notions — sharable plates and cocktails in the heart of Union Square
• Boca — industrial-chic Spanish, Mediterranean, and Moroccan tapas
• Cowa Saké — creative sushi, signature burgers, and an unmatched sake list
• Lowes Foods City Park — playgrounds, sculptures, and gathering spaces downtown
• The SALT Block — Hickory Museum of Art and Catawba Science Center under one cultural umbrella
• Hickory Crawdads — minor league baseball at L.P. Frans Stadium
• City Walk — paved multi-use trail connecting neighborhoods to downtown
• Lake Hickory — boating, paddling, and fishing just minutes north

Schools
The home sits in the Hickory Public Schools service area, which serves the 28602 zip code with strong academics and a 95% high school graduation rate (well above the North Carolina average of 85%). Top-ranked nearby schools include Mountain View Elementary, Longview Elementary, and Challenger Early College High School. Local schools post above-state-average math proficiency, and Hickory schools collectively rank in the top 50% statewide.

Why This One Stands Out
• Brand-new construction — be the very first to live here
• Just minutes to Downtown Hickory and Union Square
• Walkable to the City Walk trail and close to Lenoir-Rhyne University
• Private outdoor space at a great rental price point
• Easy access to Lake Hickory, I-40, and US-321 Read More
