Another Fulton Heights Historic District Home SOLD | by Realtor® Greg Rapp!

What a charming home in popular Fulton Heights! And now. . . thanks to real estate agent Greg Rapp at Wallace Realty . . . this beautiful circa 1942 home at 1202 Boyden Street is SOLD!

While this pretty brick home has the look of a quaint cottage, looks can be deceiving! This one-and-a-half story home features 5 (or 6!) bedrooms and 3 full baths tucked into 2700+ square feet of living space! This vintage post-war home has been beautifully renovated with pretty wood floors, and a wonderful kitchen and breakfast room with new granite, tiled backsplash, and loads of cabinets!




A cozy den offers a wall of bookcases, while the large formal Great Room features a wonderful gas-log fireplace.






The spacious Master bedroom and guest bedroom can be found on the main level. Both have updated baths.




A delightful sunroom is perfect for relaxing, as is the wonderful brick patio.



People love the Fulton Heights neighborhood of Salisbury NC, and for a number of reasons. Laid out in a grid with central avenues and sidewalks, the neighborhood is highly walkable. Many of the homes were established in the early 1900's and it is a treat to traverse the neighborhood to take in the variety of residential architectural styles of that era. These reflect nationally-popular architectural trends from the period spanning 1903 through the 1940s, most rendered as modest cottage and bungalows but also including a relatively small number of more stately houses of the late Victorian era. Some of these, both substantial and modest, were erected during the subdivision's early period of development prior to 1910. Fulton Heights is one of (10) local historic districts in Salisbury NC.


Fulton Heights was Salisbury's first 'suburb', accessed by an electric trolley car system. The planted medians along the avenues are where the former trolley tracks ran. A newly installed piece of public art, purchased by the neighborhood, commemorates the Fulton Heights trolley line.

A strong neighborhood association keeps residents informed and connected, and hosts many wonderful neighborhood events, such as Easter Egg hunts, holiday home tours, and a Halloween costume parade for the little ones, complete with prizes for all! The neighborhood even raised funds to have the City of Salisbury install a park (Centennial Park) where some of these events are held.

While this beautiful home at 1202 Boyden Street is sold, other opportunities to live in Fulton Heights, or one of the other (9) historic districts in Salisbury NC are available! Realtor® Greg Rapp was recommended to the couple from Durham area of North Carolina, and he was able to show them a number of homes full of character and beauty in the area before they decided on the Fulton Heights home. You'll want to contact Greg Rapp when you are ready to find that perfect home in Salisbury NC: (704) 213-6846. And if you're thinking of selling ~ Greg is the guy to get it done, bringing more buyers from outside the Salisbury area with a wide marketing reach! Call Greg ~ you won't be disappointed!

Spectacular c. 1927 Prairie-Schoolhouse Style Home - Under Contract in 6 Days!

Realtor® Greg Rapp placed The C. L. Stoner House, a fine example of a circa 1927, Prairie School style home, on the market on August 1st, 2016. . . and by August 7th this wonderful home in the desirable Fulton Heights neighborhood of Salisbury NC was under contract. Greg uses a unique marketing style that effectively lets a wide reach of buyers know when a significant historic home comes on the market, so effectively that he received multiple offers for the 410 Mitchell Avenue home.

c. 1927 C.L. Stoner House, 410 Mitchell Avenue, Salisbury NC
As in many four-square-form brick houses, this 2-story Fulton Heights home features wide eave overhangs beneath a hipped main block roof and a porch roof supported by a substantial brick porch. Lots of American Arts & Crafts influences can be found in this wonderfully spacious 3253 sq ft home, including beveled glass at every turn, built-in bookcases flanking masonry fireplaces, gleaming wood floors throughout, and that deep tiled front porch. (Read more about 410 Mitchell Avenue >HERE<)

Greg's media blitz for 410 Mitchell Avenue caught the attention of another Arts & Crafts aficionado from Texas, and in tandem with the Fulton Heights sale, Greg sold the couple another perfect Craftsman home on Circle Drive.

A testimony to Greg's relationship building side of the real estate business:  The buyers for 410 Mitchell Drive purchased the circa 1924 Craftsman home at 117 Circle Drive in 2013.  Greg had that historic gem listed in May 2013, under contract in less than 4 weeks, and closed by August 2013 ~ another success story.
