Get ready to fall in love with this stately all-brick American Foursquare that has been preserved, restored, and renovated! This circa 1927 vintage gem is located in one of Salisbury's more prestigious neighborhoods: The Historic West Square. A luxury home with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a main floor primary bedroom, chef's kitchen, fully finished basement, and brand-new 3-story rear addition! The results are outstanding!
Welcome to 300 West Thomas Street in the prestigious West Square Historic District of Salisbury, North Carolina.
This impressive house had suffered years of neglect and was slated for demolition. Not only saved from the wrecking ball, the circa 1927 McCanless-Goodman-Yost Home is now preserved, stabilized, restored, and renovated. Let Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC show you luxury modern living with history and class in this spotless, timeless home!
The House
You will immediately note the luxurious, luminous floors! These are the home's original oak floors, and while many homes of this era feature darkly stained wood flooring - here, this uplifting neutral aesthetic was achieved by a bleaching process, sealed with a satin polyurethane to a soft glow. The effect is bright and so calming and uplifting!
Wait until you see the incredible top-to-bottom newly installed kitchen! This custom kitchen sparkles with a white tile backsplash, a plethora of new custom cabinetry, unique quartz countertops, and elegantly appointed with a dual-fuel stove, wine fridge, and separate beverage fridge, and beautiful farmhouse sink.
But wait, there is more . . . and MUCH more!
Upstairs, you'll find three (3) more beautiful bedrooms. The rear bedroom includes a wonderful sleeping porch/sunroom that overlooks the backyard and could be utilized as a dressing room, playroom, studio, or office.
So. . . you might think that now you have seen the entire house. But another surprise awaits! Downstairs, an astounding new basement-level expanded living area turns this house from ordinary to extraordinary! Over 970 square feet with three freshly fully-finished basement rooms expand your heated/cooled living!

This elegant circa 1927 home has been thoroughly renovated with careful attention to detail and sensitive updates that offer modern conveniences while respecting the historic nature of this grand home. Stepping through the front door with its beveled glass windows, you step through the entry to a surprisingly large great room. This extra-spacious living room offers plenty of room for seating areas, that 8-ft sofa you love, and all of the accompaniments, ensuring you can live and entertain with elegance. Here, the home's original fireplace (non-functioning) boasts its original Arts & Crafts style brick surround and mantel.
Window arrays, with a unique 9-over-one pane pattern original to the house, flood the great room with natural light. Through beautiful French doors, you will find more of these wonderful light-filled windows in the spacious formal dining room.

This custom kitchen sparkles with a white tile backsplash, a plethora of new custom cabinetry, unique quartz countertops, and elegantly appointed with a dual-fuel stove, wine fridge, and separate beverage fridge, and beautiful farmhouse sink.
Above the sink, as pair of handsome leaded, beveled antique glass windows have been added to the lower sashes of each window. The tile backsplash above the stove features our favorite thing EVER . . a built-in pot filler! YES! A pretty bleached pine floor continues here, but laid on the diagonal to set it apart from the living/dining rooms.
But wait, there is more . . . and MUCH more!
When the original rear abutment was removed, it was replaced with a much larger addition that offered the space for the first-floor half-bath, beyond which you will find the main-floor owners' suite in the newly constructed rear 3-story wing, overlooking the backyard. The suite includes a new laundry room, a huge walk-in closet, and a gorgeous new designer bath, elegantly appointed with Carrera marble flooring, marble wall tiles, and marble vanity. WOW!
Upstairs, you'll find three (3) more beautiful bedrooms. The rear bedroom includes a wonderful sleeping porch/sunroom that overlooks the backyard and could be utilized as a dressing room, playroom, studio, or office.
The full bath here features the original classic 1920’s black and white tile - in perfect condition despite 40 years of neglect. A good power wash brought it back to its original beauty. The new, black, 30” marble-topped vanity perfectly complements the white tile and the original DEEP white bathtub.
So. . . you might think that now you have seen the entire house. But another surprise awaits! Downstairs, an astounding new basement-level expanded living area turns this house from ordinary to extraordinary! Over 970 square feet with three freshly fully-finished basement rooms expand your heated/cooled living!
A cozy media room at the bottom of the stairs steps up through a geometrically arched doorway to an intermediate bonus room . . . storage? more living area? . . . you decide!
This room opens to a HUGE walk-out recreation room where windows on three sides stream with natural daylight.
Each of the lower-level rooms offers glistening epoxy floors. An additional unfinished room houses the home's mechanicals. This fully rebuilt and expanded rear 3-story addition features a metal roof and is supported by an array of new helical piers.
History
Over the years, the McCanless-Goodman-Yost House had fallen into disrepair...most remarkably, the original 3-story rear abutment was in imminent danger of falling off the house. This abutment was removed, and a new and expanded addition was built that provides the space for the amazing basement rooms, the 1st-floor owners' suite, and the pretty 2nd-floor sunroom.
Details
This brick home features the typical rectangular shape and hipped roof of the American Foursquare style with a central dormer so popular in this part of the district.
The main roof is covered in its original terra cotta ceramic tile. The front porch with its metal roof, supported by impressive wooden piers, stretches across the facade to form a porte cochère over the circular drive.
The newly erected addition at the rear, supported below grade with new 40-foot helical piers, sports a new metal roof. The home has undergone a complete rewire of the entire house, new plumbing, and new HVAC systems.
Location
This lovely historic home has been fully renovated, blending restored original details with amazing updates. But should you choose to make exterior changes, this property is supported by the City of Salisbury's Historic Preservation Grants, an annual grant program that provides fiscal assistance to preserving and maintaining homes and structures within the locally designated historic districts. The city's Historic Preservation Commission oversees major exterior changes through a COA (Certificate of Appropriateness) application program.
A timeless tale of love is felt throughout this graceful historic American Foursquare with remarkable detailing. 300 W. Thomas Street is a fully updated executive-level home in a prime location, just blocks from the city of Salisbury's vibrant downtown with restaurants, unique shopping, a microbrewery, community theatre, and a $3M publicly funded central park.

Salisbury is within an hour's drive of the larger metro areas of Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro, but without the traffic and high costs!
