221 3rd St., Hickory, NC 28601

The Murphy-McFarland House. A rare opportunity awaits in this Colonial Revival home, located within walking distance to downtown Hickory and the SALT Block. This home is registered on the Claremont Local Historic District/National Register of Historic Places and was built for Mrs. Essie (Carpenter) Murphy, the wife of Dr. Joseph Lorenzo Murphy. It offers a formal living room, dining room, powder room laundry room, den and kitchen on the first floor, along with a screened summer porch and large rear deck. There are four bedrooms on the upper floor, along with 2 full baths. The craftsmanship and charm of this 1922 home is a rarity, not often found in today's newer construction. From the hardwood floors, oversized kitchen, statement staircase, two fireplaces, and crown moldings, the possibilities are abundant in renovating. The deck over the backyard would make the perfect garden party setting. For the right buyer, this home is waiting to be brought back to its 1920s era beauty.
