Welcome to the circa 1922 RJ McAdams House, 401 7th Street, nestled on a corner lot in the tree-lined heart of historic Spencer, North Carolina. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully preserved or enhanced, offering classic character with tasteful updates. Let Realtor® Greg Rapp show you the romance of living in an authentic Craftsman home.
Known locally as the 'Holiday House' and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home’s exterior has been meticulously painted in a historically accurate Arts & Crafts color scheme, highlighting its pleasing architectural lines and adding striking curb appeal. A gracious front porch spans the width of the house, featuring authentic details such as the tall stone-capped brick piers, tapered columns, and elegant woodwork — ideal for relaxing beneath the canopy of shade trees.
Inside, you'll find beautiful original heart-of-pine floors and an amazing array of light-filled, classic 4-over-1 windows. The living room boasts a handsome original brick fireplace (not functioning) and built-ins. The living room opens to the formal dining room, creating a warm, connected living space perfect for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. French doors originally separated the opening between these two rooms, and they are stored in the basement, should the new owner choose to reinstall them.
The vintage kitchen offers both charm and function, featuring pretty countertops, original cabinetry, an in-kitchen laundry area, and a dishwasher (not yet connected). A door here leads to the cozy rear screened porch, a tiny sanctuary that overlooks the expanse of green space in the backyard —a peaceful retreat!
Gorgeous French doors lead to a bonus room that would be ideal as an office, studio, or bedroom #3 in this two-bedroom/one-bath home. The layout offers flexibility to suit your lifestyle.
A convenient walk-out basement offers abundant storage or workshop potential, and the unique carport, original to the house, adds architectural flair, functionality, and curb appeal. The current owners installed a new roof in 2017. Vintage light fixtures have been fully rewired. The central AC needs attention. There is a common alley behind and at the back of the property.
Town of Spencer Historic District Design Standards apply to the RJ McAdams House. Certificates of Appropriateness (COA) are required for any exterior renovations. Before any work can begin, the Spencer Historic Preservation Commission reviews applications and conducts a hearing.
401 7th Street is located just a few blocks from the town's beautiful Library park, the NC Transportation Museum, downtown shops, and local dining. You can't beat the small-town charm Spencer, NC has to offer ...but if you need some big-city vibes once in a while, Salisbury is just down the road with vibrant nightlife, theatre, live music, restaurants, and unique shops.
