When just any old 4-bedroom house won't do . . . and you're looking for a home with quality, class, and character ~ the stately Victorian at 226 S. ELLIS STREET comes along!  Located in the prestigious West Square Historic District of Salisbury, North Carolina, this circa 1895 spacious home exudes the grace of the era at every turn. 

226 S. Ellis Street is a solidly built, turn-of-the-century, Victorian-style home with a deep, wrap-around front veranda that winds 3/4 of the way around the house. This 42-wide outdoor space is large enough to create separate sitting areas and will become your favorite relaxation zone!

Step through the handsome oversized entry door, and you will find yourself in a spacious entry hall, complete with the original fireplace with original mantel and tiles, a sweet little under-staircase 'nook', and the grand staircase to the second story. A beautiful ceiling medallion graces the light fixture here.

Hardwood floors, all of the period millwork, and original fireplaces and radiators are the cast of characters that make this home so special.

The 17' x 14' kitchen spans the rear of the home.  Large enough to host a square dance, this kitchen was recently modernized and includes the pretty free-standing center work island. This amazing space offers ample counter space, a gas range, a new beadboard ceiling, and plenty of cabinetry. Laundry is discreetly tucked away behind doors in the kitchen, and a charming mudroom leads to the rear entrance and a graciously sized, deep backyard.

The home's grand staircase, with newel post and balusters in perfect condition, leads up to an upper hall, a large sunlit mezzanine that easily serves as another sitting or reading area.  From the mezzanine stretches a hallway that leads you to the upper three bedrooms, all nicely sized rooms at roughly 14' x 14' each!

Located within one of Salisbury’s designated Historic Districts, this home benefits from City of Salisbury exterior architectural oversight to preserve its timeless character. Some exterior restrictions may apply; however, the City frequently offers Historic Preservation Grants (budgets permitting) that help homeowners in these districts with repairs and upgrades.

226 S. Ellis Street is located in the heart of the West Square Historic District within a grid of vintage homes and treelined streets and sidewalks.  The Historic West Square (also known as the Salisbury Historic District) is supported by the Olde Salisbury Neighborhood Association and is the first neighborhood in the City of Salisbury to receive the historic designation.  One look at the plethora of gorgeously appointed homes from the late 1800s through the early 1900s will tell you why this pedestrian- and family-friendly neighborhood is one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Salisbury.

So . . . you might have missed the opportunity at 226 S. Ellis Street, but if you love the idea of living in a historic home in Salisbury, NC, do not hesitate to give Realtor Greg Rapp a call.  Greg's expertise with vintage and historic properties puts him at the heart of the matter ~ and he can help you find your dream historic home!  Selling your distinctive older home?   Call Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 and get your home under contract in 3-days!!
