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. Large enough to live comfortably, yet tidy enough to spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying life, 205 Elm Street is perfect for anyone seeking a charmingly more simplified way to live.  Call Greg today:  704.213.6846

Tudor-Style Cottage - Circa 1934 - Offers Storybook Appeal

Just wait until you see this stunning English Tudor in the desirable Fulton Heights Historic District in Salisbury, North Carolina! Let Greg Rapp, Realtor with Wallace Realty, take you on a storybook adventure!

Not only is this one of the sweetest houses, with its unique Tudor styling on this popular tree-lined street with planted medians through the center ~ this circa 1935 2-story home at 502 Mitchell Avenue has just about everything going for it! Let's start with the exterior!




You can't mistake the traditional Tudor styling: A brick home with a steeply pitched roof, and a variety of tall windows, with the look of a storybook cottage. Here, all the exterior wood has been freshly repainted. A handsome brick walk leads to the off-center formal front entry, while a beautifully planted path dips to the back yard, furthering the storybook feeling . . . like you're dropping down into Alice's rabbit hole adventures in Wonderland*. This path takes you to a brick and concrete patio partially covered by pergola ~ overlooking a meandering, sloping expanse of garden and back lawn accessed by a sweet iron gate and brick staircase. Mature trees offer dappled shade in this pretty and private rear yard. Swept away yet? Let's go inside!




In the front door, you'll be impressed immediately by the gorgeous original oak flooring. The spacious living room with original brick fireplace mantel and a trio of 6-over-one windows offering loads of natural light flows through French doors into the dining room, another beautiful space with large windows.








Our favorite room, and perhaps it will be your's, is the sunroom with a wonderful skylight feature and a fabulous curved multi-paned window that uniquely opens inward ~ more storybook appeal! The east wall of this room is all more multi-paned windows and pretty exposed, painted brick.






The sunlit kitchen offers so many terrific features! New hand-hewn wood counter tops, a farmhouse sink, and an efficient layout that includes a pass-through bar to the butler's pantry that doubles as a small breakfast room with breakfast-bar seating and built-in cupboards.












Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms and a full bath and half-bath. The full bath features pretty beadboard wainscoting with chair rail, common in a home of this era, and pretty decorative tile. The owners' suite features a spacious sitting room with a charming little window seat and two cedar-lined closets. You might note vintage radiators here and there throughout the home, now disconnected, but adding to the historic charm of the home. 






But wait...we are not finished with our interior tour!

A walk-out basement completes your living space at 502 Mitchell Avenue! The dry basement, currently used as workshop area, could easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom. The basement doors lead out to that pretty patio.

This all-brick home has been well-maintained . . . and it shows. The home had a new roof installed in 2007 and new HVAC units in 2016. Bathrooms are both updated.

Fulton Heights is one of ten Historic Districts in Salisbury but has no HOA or rules. This popular walkable neighborhood, supported by a strong neighborhood association that hosts parties, picnics, and parades, is close in proximity to downtown Salisbury's amenities including public library, unique shops, restaurants, museums and art galleries, theaters, two micro-breweries, and the new Bell Tower Green central downtown park which is currently under construction (expected completion Spring 2021).

Are you ready to start your own storybook adventure? Call Realtor Greg Rapp with Wallace Realty ~ 704.213.6846 ~ and let's start turning the pages!
