Golden Opportunity: Fully Restored Commercial/Residential Building in Historic Downtown - Seven Lease Units - FOR SALE with Greg Rapp / SRE

107-117 E. Innes Street, Salisbury NC FOR SALE with Salisbury Real Estate LLC

When Salisbury, North Carolina was laid out into 112 lots as the county seat in 1753, it was divided into four quadrants by the intersection of the primary axis, now known as The Square: Innes and Main Streets. With this, the town plan of Salisbury was clarified into a grid system that remains largely unaltered today.




Welcome to 107-117 East Innes Street in the center of downtown Salisbury, North Carolina.  Built circa 1890-1910, this prominent 2-story commercial building with paired arched windows along the second level and stepped false front gable is located on The Square in downtown . . . the intersection of the two primary corridors: Innes Street and Main Street. 

'The two-story brick structure is divided into two buildings by pilasters in a contrasting color. The main facade of each building is dramatized by the arcade-like window arrangement of the second story, which culminates in a robustly shaped gable false front pierced by a louvered roundel vent. The appearance of the shaped gables emphasizes the popularity of the Mission style in early twentieth century Salisbury. The fine example of the style is in the structure at 107-117 East Innes.'






Today, 107-117 East Innes Street is host to a bakery/coffee house, two retail establishments at the main level, and 4 residential units in the second story. The facade is nearly unchanged from its circa 1890 roots. Today, 107-117 East Innes Street is FOR SALE with Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC.

Historic Preservation in Salisbury

Salisbury has five Local Historic Districts. Local Historic Districts are specially-zoned groups of properties that are historically and culturally similar. 107-117 E. Innes Street is within the Salisbury Downtown Historic District, and the first designated district in the city, a designation designed to protect the stock of vintage buildings located here that date from circa 1830s to early 1900s.




Exterior changes to any structures within the historic districts must adhere to the Historic Preservation Design Standards. The Design Standards specify what changes are appropriate for the style and time period of the property and incompatible modifications are discouraged. Properties within the local historic districts are also required to receive a Certificate of Appropriateness before starting any exterior work, a very specific document covering potential changes to exteriors that is designed to help protect the historic character of buildings, streetscapes, and landscapes, and help to encourage reinvestment.

City of Salisbury Grant Opportunities



The City of Salisbury makes grant programs available for exterior repairs and beautification, business development, and for historic preservation to those structures within the local historic districts. These grants are a type of financial aid that does not need to be repaid. Grants available to 107-117 E. Innes are:

https://SalisburyNC.gov/Government/Planning-and-Neighborhoods/Grants-and-Incentives
  • Innes Street Incentive Grant
  • Municipal Service District Grant
The Innes Street Incentive Grant assists property and business owners within the Innes Street Improvement District. The MSD Incentive Grant assists property and business owners within the Downtown Municipal Service District.  These grants assist property and business owners with enhancements to facades, landscapes, driveways, and parking lots.
 
Projects can range from minor repairs and repainting to substantial façade and landscape rehabilitation.
Projects such as the installation of new pedestrian amenities (outdoor seating, planters, awnings, café fences, lighting) are also eligible.

The grants are awarded by the Salisbury Community Appearance Commission (CAC) as funds are available and are awarded on a 50/50 matching basis with a maximum City participation of $5,000.00 per project. Each is a reimbursement grant. Funds are issued at project completion after final inspection and approval of the project. All proposed projects must be reviewed and approved by the CAC before any work has begun in order to be eligible for the grant.
