Spencer, North Carolina - in addition to being the home of the North Carolina Transportation Museum, is home to one of the largest contiguous historic districts in the country. And while historic homes dating from the late 1800s through the 1940s abound here, new home construction is popping up left and right as today's market is still realizing a shortage of available homes for buyers.

Welcome to the best of both worlds at 412 Jordan Avenue, Spencer, North Carolina! Give Realtor® Greg Rapp at Salisbury Real Estate LLC a call, 704.213.6846, to see this little charmer in person! A vintage home restored and refurbished to the quality of a new home!

This cute-as-a-button circa 1928 bungalow has been completely upgraded with fresh paint on both its exterior and interior. This adorable single-story, 2-bedroom/1-bath home boasts new flooring, carpets, new bathroom and a new kitchen with new appliances, new white cabinetry, new countertops, and a laundry area.

The home's two original fireplaces are now non-functional, but are wonderful throw-backs to days gone by.

Enjoy coffee and company on the wide rocking chair front porch that spans the width of the home, or enjoy an al fresco charcuterie and a glass of wine on the small deck off the kitchen that overlooks the deep (150'!) tree-lined back yard in a rural setting.

412 Jordan Avenue features newer replacement windows, a new heat pump, and a new 200 amp service panel.

The town's neighborhoods emanate from the beautiful Library Park, where its circa 1943 library, formerly a school, is run by the Town of Spencer (not part of the Rowan County Library system). The NC Transportation Museum draws thousands of visitors annually, especially for events such as Thomas the Train, winter holiday train rides, and The Polar Express ride. And when it comes to holiday celebrations, soak up the sights and scents of Christmas as you meander through Spencer's Winterfest 2022...a market of sparkling lights, trees, and merry music. Wooden huts and pop-up tents are filled with holiday gifts, crafts and festive food, and you can watch the lighting of the Town Tree in Market Square and come back again, and again, for other festivities in this beautiful German Christmas Marketplace. 

If you are looking for a small town atmosphere that offers the convenience of major cities within a 30-minute drive, come explore Spencer NC. Big things are steaming up for this little railroad town. Give Greg Rapp a call today to see this little vintage gem with all its new amenities. 704.213.6846 gets you to the area's expert when it comes to historic homes and properties! You're going to love your new old-home!

This vintage 2-bedroom/1-bath home in the Town of Spencer, North Carolina is a blank slate! This circa 1927 -  900 square-foot Arts & Crafts cottage is a shell that awaits your finishing.

The good news: The roof is approximately 2-3 years old per the seller. The inside walls have been sheetrocked and primed, leaving a vanilla box for you to finish.

The home sits on a 50' X 150' deep, sloping lot. A small covered deck overlooks the tree-lined backyard. The small basement is partially above grade, offering windows, natural daylight, and a nice walk-out feature. The home offers on-street parking.

The hard news: The home needs to have ceilings and flooring installed. The home requires a new kitchen and bath. In the kitchen, the unfinished cabinetry system in the house remains.  This cute home will additionally need new HVAC and probably a new water heater.

The seller is accepting Cash-Only offers...and NO sight unseen offers!
