Vintage 1901 Cottage in Historic Spencer FOR SALE! First Time Buyer? Downsizing? This is YOURS!

If you are looking for a starter home, or looking to downsize, Realtor Greg Rapp has the PERFECT newly refurbished circa 1901 cottage ~ ready to move in ~ just for YOU!

Welcome to 1011 3rd Street in Historic Spencer, North Carolina! This adorable vintage cottage has been completely remodeled for today's lifestyles!


Enter through the rocking-chair front porch to an airy and bright, freshly painted, 17 x 14 living room with beautiful new 6-over-six windows that stream natural light. New soft luxury plank vinyl flooring whispers underfoot.



The spacious combination kitchen and dining area is fantastic for everyday dining . . . or for full-on entertaining! The chef will never be stranded alone in the kitchen! The open kitchen offers gleaming new granite countertops over soft white cabinetry. Here, the new luxury vinyl plank flooring is in a soft, neutral grey.






A convenient laundry room off the kitchen leads to a newly built, handsome rear deck - overlooking the deep backyard and covered carport/patio.




The home's two bedrooms, freshly painted a soft sage green, feature new wall-to-wall carpets in a soothing matching hue. The home has two full bathrooms.



The sloping backyard is bordered by a wooded area, providing shade and privacy. 1011 3rd Street boasts a new architectural shingle roof, new electric service, and new plumbing. The house has been outfitted with new windows throughout.



The entire house has been freshly repainted inside and out.  An older garden shed in the rear of the yard offers storage for lawn mowers, bicycles, and garden tools, and while the freshly stoned parking pad is now just at the side of the house, a driveway surely once extended to the covered carport in the back yard . . . but we pictured this paved, roofed space as an extension of outdoor living space!








This charming 1,031 square-foot home is in a neighborhood lined with vintage cottages such as this one, on a winding road that leads from Spencer center to the more rural parts of Rowan County. The house is just blocks from the Town of Spencer, which is undergoing a fantastic resurgence of activity with a new public park, new restaurants, the Spencer Public Library, the North Carolina Transportation Museum, and the North Carolina Museum of Dolls, Toys, & Miniatures. The City of Salisbury shops, restaurants, nightlife, community theatre, and more are just a stone's throw away!





This 2-bedroom/2-bath cottage at 1011 3rd Street is MOVE-IN-READY! Give Greg Rapp / Salisbury Real Estate LLC a call today - 704.213.6846 - to make it YOURS!
