While some may feel that a price reduction on a home is a red flag, Greg Rapp with Wallace Realty says, "No!  It's more like a green flag ~ one that welcomes buyers!  Many buyers look in a set price point, say $250K or under. If the home is asking $300K, it has not been exposed to those buyers. Reducing the price often introduces the home to a new group of buyers-which is likely to result in a sale."  No offers after 30 days on the market means the market is telling you, "This is not the right price." 

The price is more than right on these three wonderful vintage homes  ~ check them out for yourself!

Country Living ~ Low Maintenance ~ No City Taxes or Utility Bills! Sound Perfect? It Is!!!

MLS #: R56938
List Price: $122,500
3475 MELLON DRIVE 
Salisbury, NC 28147

Looking for that home in the country...but not TOO far in the country where you might have to drive forever to get to shopping and restaurants?  



Look no further!!!  3475 Mellon Drive is the home you've been looking for!

This immaculately kept 2 bedroom/2 bath is just outside of the City of Salisbury city limits, but close enough to get to amenities such as shopping, arts & culture, libraries, and restaurants.   

One of the first things that will strike you is the large open lots and open land in this country neighborhood.  3475 Mellon Drive is adjacent to two open lots with another 3 across the street.  The brick and vinyl sided home sits on an open .5 acre lot, measuring 232'x132' (for reference, most city lots are roughly 50'x100').  As you look down Mellon Drive, you'll note that other properties are similarly situated on beautiful open grounds.

The second thing that will strike you ~ and we mean strike you with the best WOW factor ever ~ is the fabulous corner fireplace and hearth in the vaulted living room with its plush wall-to-wall carpet. Spanning from floor to vaulted ceiling, the massive masonry and gas log fireplace with decorative brick details is clearly the focal point of the interior ~ and will quickly become your favorite room in the house. 

 

The third striking feature in this wonderful country home (no city taxes!!) is that the vaulted ceiling spans not only the living room but the kitchen, with its loads of cabinet space, and dining rooms as well!  This gives this 1500+ square foot house a feeling of spaciousness that has to be seen to be believed!

This home has a wonderful layout, with a large laundry room, great bedroom closets (the Master Suite has a walk-in closet), and will be low maintenance with its brick and vinyl exterior.  And speaking of maintenance ~ a new metal roof covers this well kept ranch.  AND: the home uses well water & septic system = no city utility bills! YAY!

Lastly, for those days when you just want to kick back after work, walk out back to your deck overlooking this wonderfully airy back yard . . . or when you're feeling more energetic ~ take up a new project in your 2-car attached garage.

Greg Rapp invites you to take a closer look at 3475 Mellon Drive ~ in its quiet country setting just outside of city limits, yet just minutes from everything!  Call to take him up on this invitation....Mellon Drive is calling you home!

Acreage in Cleveland NC for Sale ~ Partially Cleared/Partially Wooded! Potential Galore! $80,000

Many people think of Ohio when they hear, 'Cleveland'. However,the Tar Heel State also lays claim to a beautiful, small southern town by the same name. A few people might realize that Jim Graham, a much revered NC Commissioner of Agriculture, proudly named Cleveland as his home town. Folks might also know that a Freightliner® plant is located in Cleveland, NC. To set the record straight, this is Cleveland, North Carolina we're talking about ~ a small town nicely located about halfway between Salisbury and Statesville if you are traveling on Hwy 70. 


Realtor® Greg Rapp just listed this very nice nearly 8-acre (7.599 acres per survey) land for sale on AMITY HILL ROAD in Cleveland, North Carolina 27013.  This partially cleared/partially wooded tract is set back off the road with 30-foot road frontage on Amity Hill Road. (DIRECTIONS: Highway 70 to left on Amity Hill Road, property on right side between 2320 and 2470 Amity Hill Rd.) Jump on this opportunity to own this nice chunk of land today ~ by getting a hold of Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 sooner than later!



The potential for uses are endless, from a wonderful open site for a single family home, a working farm, a horse farm, or even the potential for developing a small subdivision. The 2013 taxes here in 2013 were just $ 473.53! Maybe you can build that new hydrofarm you've been dreaming about!




The town of Cleveland, NC evolved from Indian trails and buffalo wallows, from wagon roads to paved streets and highways, from mainly agriculture to a mixture of agriculture and industry. Incorporated in 1883 as Third Creek Station and renamed Cleveland in 1887, this small town of approximately 900 is located in the western portion of Rowan County. Today one can sense a historical connection of family and culture as well as benefit from modern innovations, technology, and services. 

The Cleveland area is served by highly-rated schools, services that make the town self-sufficient, and businesses that offer employment and stability to the town. The town commissioner's goal is to preserve the home-town flavor without sacrificing quality living. 

So if you've been wanting a nice tract of land, either for your home in the country, a farmette, or to develop...here is your opportunity!  Call Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 and jump on this before it's gone!!

Enter the Country Club Hills Neighborhood ~ a secluded neighborhood in Salisbury North Carolina ~ and your first impression is the enormous canopy of old growth hardwood trees of every variety that shade every winding turn of this wonderfully established neighborhood of fine homes in this neighborhood that developed slowly over the years, with homes that range from the later 60’s to the present.  

The neighborhood streets and landscapes are heavily wooded with large oak trees, pecans, hickory trees and more, and two small streams give the area a park like feel.  

Welcome to 108 Canteberry Drive ~ a large 2600+ square-foot home ~ and first time on the market in over 30 years!  

Get a jump on this fine home by calling Realtor® Greg Rapp at (704) 213-6846 today!

This solidly built, well-cared-for home in Country Club Hills was built in 1979 and is for sale at $249,900. The impressive old-growth trees found throughout the neighborhood are echoes on this fine property with the pale grey two-story home on nearly an acre of wooded property ~ a double lot with moss laden woods and an open lawn to the side.

Up a winding curved walk that weaves between shade trees and is elevated about moss as thick as a velvet carpet, you'll walk to the front door and enter a wide foyer. 


From the foyer, take the stairs to the second level, or go right or left to the formal living room or the formal dining room with chair rails and 2 built-in corner china cupboards.
 

The large den, 30' x 12', may become your favorite room with its masonry fireplace and wood stove insert, flanked by built-in bookcases and cupboards.

This den, or great room, is right off the kitchen (with its brand new stove!) and breakfast area, and will surely be the favored relaxing place after dinners in your new home!  From the den, you can step out into the shaded rear porch.


Up the stairs, you are greeted by a large mezzanine complete with not one, but TWO large storage closets and flanking a window seat.  The spacious Master Suite in this 3-bedroom home features the 18' x  13' Master Bedroom with large his-and-hers closets. 

The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill Bathroom snuggled between the two rooms. A small half-bath is nestled under the staircase on the main floor just off the entry foyer.


108 Canteberry Drive is on a double lot (250' x 168') in the Country Club Hills neighborhood.  The home and extra lot are approximately an acre, wooded with gorgeous mature shade trees.  

To the rear of the home, you'll enjoy cool summer breezes in the 20' x 9' screened porch over looking the wooded landscape and a small rear patio and garden.  

The rear of the property is lined with a heavily wooded forest garden, again with that thick velvet layer of moss beneath towering shade trees ~ a cool and shady oasis!


And speaking of gardens...yard maintenance is minimized by a built-in irrigation system!


A large double attached garage will keep the family automobiles and tools from the elements, and an additional storage shed will house more tools and toys!


Country Club Hills is close to Salisbury shopping, hospitals, and schools. The Country Club Golf Course is just nearby. You will be proud to tell everyone your address!  The Country Club of Salisbury, a private member club, offers various social activities, challenging recreation, attentive and courteous service, five star cuisines, and a home-away-from home atmosphere with the finer things that life has to offer. The golf community here surrounds you with friends and family, nurturing life-long friendships ~ a place to grow and build strong foundations for future generations.

If you'd like to visit this fine Country Club Hills home and envision living here, please call Greg Rapp with Wallace Realty at (704) 213-6846.  

108 Canteberry Drive is a such a wonderfully large home and property for the price in such a fine neighborhood!  You won't be disappointed!
