Attractive 1923 Bungalow ~ Attractive Fulton Heights ~ Attractive Price!

Whether you're purchasing your first home or simplifying your next chapter, this charming 1923 bungalow offers the perfect balance of character, comfort, and manageable living. With just over 1,600 square feet, yet 3-4 bedrooms and 3 baths (1-full/2-half), it's just the right size—room to live, entertain, and enjoy without the upkeep of a larger home.  Ready to have a look?  

Welcome to 205 Elm Street, a charming 1923 Craftsman Bungalow in the desirable Fulton Heights Neighborhood of Salisbury, North Carolina ~ listed with Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC!


The lovely neighborhood of Fulton Heights came into existence in 1902 when the Southern Development Company bought nearly 100 acres in south Salisbury and subdivided it for sale ~ Salisbury's first 'subdivision'! It was then a highly desirable residential community on the outskirts of Salisbury, connected to Salisbury by the electric trolley line, with all the modern amenities – waterworks, sewer, electricity and long-distance telephone service by Southern Bell! Today, this neighborhood remains a highly desirable area boasting shaded streets in a walkable grid and its own park! Fulton Heights was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 to assist in the preservation of the neighborhood's many architectural examples that range from 1906 through the 1940s. It consists of over 500 significant structures that include residential architectural styles from late Victorian Queen Anne houses to Colonial, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial, Tudor Revival, Prairie School, and Craftsman residences - ranging in size from modest cottages and bungalows to more stately homes. 205 Elm Street is one of these vintage bungalows and is designated as a 'Contributing Structure' in the National Register!


Mature trees shade and cool this inviting home that features a welcoming, freshly painted rocking-chair front porch (approximately 16' x 10').  






From here, step inside this 4-bedroom home to a spacious living room, where the hardwood floors have been newly refinished, and the circa 1923 fireplace (N.F.) hosts its beautiful original mantelpiece. 







Through a large cased pass-through, you enter the dining room, where more newly finished hardwood floors gleam and handsome crown molding surrounds the ceiling.




The kitchen features new linoleum flooring, new countertops, and new appliances. Pretty white cupboards abound!  Off the kitchen, you'll find the laundry room, with its pretty wainscoting. This room may have originally been a sweet little side porch that is now enclosed.








The flexible floor plan offers up to four bedrooms or the option to dedicate one room as a home office, hobby space, or guest room. Two of the bedrooms offer brand-new carpet! The Primary Bedroom features original warm knotty pine walls, more beautiful wood floors, and French doors that lead to a rear deck (approximately 15' x 8') that overlooks the deep, semi-private backyard.  One of the home's two half-baths adjoins this bedroom.





Energy-efficient (newer vinyl) windows that sport their original Arts & Crafts interior trim offer comfort and value. 






205 Elm Street
updates include fresh interior paint throughout, new appliances, new countertops, newly refinished hardwood floors, and new linoleum floors in the kitchen and bathrooms.  The foundation has been freshly painted.  With its large 1,097-square-foot basement, accessible from both the interior and exterior, with abundant storage, workshop potential, or future possibilities, this well-maintained, low-maintenance home is ready for its next owners. 

The Fulton Heights Neighborhood is supported by a strong neighborhood association that plans fun neighborhood events (such as the areas arguably most popular Halloween Trick-or-Treat event and a Winter Holiday House Tour), and keeps lines of communication open for its residents and neighbors. This sweet bungalow home within this community is conveniently located near downtown Salisbury shopping, restaurants, breweries, theaters, and the city's beautiful Bell Tower Green Park.  Interstate 85 is just a stone's throw from 205 Elm Street, providing you with easy access to everything the area has to offer.  


If you are looking for less space without sacrificing your home's personality, it's time to call Greg Rapp at Salisbury Real Estate!   This 1923 gem delivers timeless character, thoughtful living spaces, and over 1,600 square feet of easy-to-maintain comfort — ideal for first-time buyers and those ready to downsize alike.

Circa 1923 Bungalow ~ Crisp & Clean ~ for Sale with Salisbury Real Estate.

Step back in time to an era of streetcars and phonographs ~ where cozy bungalows lined neighborhood streets, and you sipped lemonade and watched the world go by from your shady veranda . . .




Welcome to 705 North Fulton Street in Salisbury, North Carolina ~ for sale with Greg Rapp, Salisbury Real Estate LLC!




Enter this shining 1,526 s.f., circa 1923 bungalow via the welcoming front porch. Then, step through the custom-stained-glass front door where a spacious living room greets you. Straight away you'll notice the vintage 1923 details: the gorgeous brick fireplace, built-in shelving, and large, handsome windows - all original to the house!








Follow gleaming original hardwood floors through the open floor plan to the dining room, another warm and welcoming space. The current owner enjoyed using this room as a sitting room, and configured the parlor as the dining room.





This clean, crisp 1923 Arts and Crafts home had been completely renovated/restored in 2020! Part of that renovation is the brand-NEW (2020) kitchen with luxury vinyl plank floors (so comfy underfoot!). Granite counters are edged with both granite and subway tile backsplash, while the stove features a decorative tile backsplash. Brand-new cupboards offer plenty of storage!







A sweet laundry room off the kitchen offers shelving that pulls double duty as a pantry! The laundry room leads to a new deck with privacy screen that overlooks the deep backyard. The deck will surely be your favorite entertaining area!





A NEW (2020) hall bath features crisp wainscoting, a walk-in shower, and a lovely farm sink mounted on an antique dresser. 

The main bath WOWS with new subway-tile walls, a deep built-in porcelain tub, and original vintage hex-tile flooring!





The three bedrooms offer more of the beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The current owner utilized the third and front bedroom as an office, and painted the walls a rich iron-ore grey!






Under the entire footprint of the house, including the front porch, you'll find a huge, functional basement. The basement offers garage door entry at the rear for parking, but its sheer size leaves plenty of room for a workshop and storage spaces, with its tall ceilings and concrete floor. This is another 1,679 feet of space!!




The exterior is a visually pleasing combination of plank, cedar shakes, brick, and granite. The 'rocking-chair' front porch, with its brick and granite details, boasts new flooring and will be your favorite spot for enjoying morning coffee or spending a lazy summer afternoon. The home received a new roof during the renovation (2020).






The historic 1920s-30s North Fulton neighborhood is 2-blocks from Salisbury's beautiful City Park and Hurley Park.  The streetcars are long gone, but just (7) blocks away, you'll find Salisbury's award-winning downtown with unique shops, restaurants, nightlife, galleries, a microbrewery, three community theatres, and public library. 



Need some big-city vibes once in a while? Salisbury is approximately a 1-hour drive from metro Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Need to get away from the city vibe? Salisbury is a 2-hour drive to the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, and approximately 4-hours to our Atlantic Ocean beaches.




So, get ready to put the phonograph on, and step back in time.  Make this clean and crisp, fully restored, vintage house your home!  Call Realtor® Greg Rapp for your private showing: 704.213.6846.
