Get all the details below, but when pictures are not enough to convince you of the complete charm of this spectacular, move-in-ready Victorian cottage in the West Square Historic District, then it's time to give Realtor® Greg Rapp a call: 704.213.6846. Let Greg tell you the advantages of purchasing this historic home at 308 W. Monroe Street in Salisbury, and the rest, as they say, will be history!
308 West Monroe Street, a 1890-1910 folk Victorian Queen Anne cottage with 1,313 square feet, two bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, is nestled between three circa 1897 sister houses in the heart of the prestigious West Square Historic District in Salisbury, North Carolina. Two large pin oaks and a front border of evergreen shrubs frame the property. The majestic trees offer wide swaths of shade, cooling the home in summer and creating the most enjoyable front-porch experiences.

Handsome brick steps lead up to a cottage-style front porch, a prize-winner with spindle friezes, trefoil brackets, and turned elements figuring prominently in its ornamentation, adding to the romance of this Victorian cottage.
You'll find more Victorian architectural details in the decorative dentil molding that trims the home's bay windows.
Stepping inside, the knock-out feature in the spacious front parlor is the tray ceiling framed by impressive deep crown molding and trim. This feature adds a whole new dimension to the room, adding depth and visual interest, and completely adding a sense of Victorian grandeur to the home.
A faux fireplace (the original fireplace was likely on an adjacent wall between the living and dining rooms) is framed by two large windows in the parlor's bay feature. An outlet above the deep mantel piece is genius for mounting a television or twin lamps with minimal electrical cord anti-aesthetics!
Gleaming original wood floors take you through to the dining room, another spacious room with deep crown moldings and trim. A double array of 2-over-2 windows here streams natural daylight.
Enter the farmhouse-style kitchen from the dining room . . . and you are sure to be impressed with the cabinet space and the expanse of counter work area. The work island/breakfast bar here is a movable feature.

While the porch addition is newer, careful attention was paid to have the architectural details mimic the Victorian character of 308 W. Monroe Street. The brackets, dentil molding, and inner beadboard are perfectly congruous with the original home aesthetic.

A small hallway leads to the home's two bedrooms, separated by a full bathroom with tongue-and-groove beadboard walls, painted a vivid azure blue! The beadboard walls here, in the kitchen, and in the two bedrooms, are a stunning statement to the home's 1897 vintage beginnings.
The Owner's Bedroom Suite offers a walk-in closet and has its own private full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom offers a handsome boxed bay window.
A quaint elevated outbuilding, mimicking a garage, is perfect for a workshop, artist's studio, a "She-Shed", "Man-Cave", or more!
French doors open to a space that could be opened up to act as a cabana for the tiny, gated, and enclosed garden yard. The possibilities for its creative use are wide open!
The current owner installed a gated area mid-driveway to divide the driveway into either secure parking or additional patio space in front of this delightful outbuilding.
In the center of the Historic West Square and only blocks from the Rowan County Library and Downtown center, which is bustling with plenty of activity, 308 W. Monroe Street is a stone's throw from Salisbury's many and varied restaurants (Seafood, Italian, American Bistro, Thai, and Vietnamese, to name a few!), community theaters, shops and brewery options! The fabulous Bell Tower Green park, a centerpiece of downtown Salisbury, is mere blocks away.
Located in a Historic District overlay, this sweet home is eligible for City of Salisbury Historic Preservation Grants for exterior improvements. City of Salisbury Historic Preservation Commission oversees changes to exterior components per Historic Design Standards that must be approved through a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process.
