Welcome to 414 South Fulton Street in the West Square Historic District, listed FOR SALE with Greg Rapp of Salisbury Real Estate LLC. This is the first time this impressive brick home has been on the open market in over 40 years! This stunning, completely revived, circa-1923 brick home sits in the very heart of Salisbury’s West Square Historic District, a desirable neighborhood known for its historic charm. This area is one of Salisbury’s oldest and most architecturally rich neighborhoods, with homes dating from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, showcasing a wide range of period styles such as Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman.
Sidewalks and shade trees welcome you to 414 S. Fulton Street's deep - over 32-foot-wide - veranda with its ornate balustrade and handsome double columns. Here you'll enjoy a generous outdoor living space that beautifully complements the decorative two-tone brick façade.
The front façade of this 2 1/2 story home is notably decorated with historic clinker brick masonry in a diamond pattern across the expanse. Clinker bricks are produced when wet clay bricks are exposed to excessive heat during the firing process, sintering the surface of the brick and forming a shiny, dark-colored coating. Clinker bricks have a blackened appearance, and a fun fact - clinkers are so named for the metallic sound they make when struck together. Clinker bricks are denser, heavier, and more irregular than standard bricks, and are water-resistant and durable.
Through the elegant front door with beveled glass windows and sidelights, you enter the massive front parlor, one of two. The room features original stain-grade woodwork, newly refinished oak floors, and a fireplace framed by original built-ins. Two pairs of French doors accentuate the space and provide privacy from the rest of the home. Through a wide opening flanked by handsome wood columns is a second parlor. Through the second parlor, you enter the formal dining room that also carries on the beautiful original woodwork throughout.
A newly designed and installed dream kitchen brings another WOW-factor. This bright and functional space offers NEW solid-surface countertops, NEW high-end appliances, and a NEW stylish tile backsplash. A pot-filler plumbed above the stove is super-convenient and a luxury modern touch.
The adjoining coffee bar/breakfast room overlooking the back yard offers the cutest sitting area, lots more storage, and a beverage refrigerator.
Just off the kitchen is a freshly minted laundry/mud room that leads to the back yard with a newly installed concrete walkway and freshly seeded lawn.
A main-level bedroom to the rear of the home has dual closets and offers flexibility as a guest room or office.
A truly beautiful hall sits beyond the front parlor's French doors and the main-level bedroom, leading to the magnificent staircase. Almost a small room itself, the refinished wood here glows!
A NEW full bath with shower off this hallway shines with gorgeous tile in complementary patterns.
Let's head upstairs! The staircase remarkably still has its original newel post, and the balustrades are rock solid. The staircase turns at a beautiful window-lit landing and heads up and around to the generous second-story hall.
Upstairs, more gleaming floors light the way to the additional 4 (or 5!) bedrooms. The big WOW-factor up here is the spacious primary suite ~ a graciously sized bedroom WITH an adjoining sitting room that charms with its original fireplace with completely intact vintage tile surround and two walk-in closets, making it equally suited as a private lounge, office, or nursery/playroom. This wonderful 3,188 square-foot home could be a 6-bedroom house by utilizing this upstairs sitting room as a bedroom, making it a potential additional #6 bedroom. Back in the upper hall, a pull-down staircase provides access to a small attic.
Another NEW bathroom off the upper hall sparkles with more beautiful tile work and modern finishes.
A back bedroom streams wonderful natural light with an array of windows on two sides, leading us to believe that this was perhaps originally a sleeping porch, consistent with residential architecture of the era.
414 S. Fulton Street provides off street parking via a common alley from the side street that leads to your private driveway behind the home with its two-car detached carport that also provides utility and garden shed storage. Here, the perfectly sized back yard - not too big and not to small - is shaded by a towering silver maple tree, and offers greenspace for al fresco dining, entertaining, gardening, play, and more.
This fabulous circa 1923 home has undergone a fully permitted, comprehensive renovation, including a total house rewire, all new plumbing, and two new HVAC systems. All the light fixtures are new. The slate roof was recently inspected and repaired as needed by KW Arthur Roofing of Salisbury, and new chimney caps have been installed. Freshly blown insulation increases the home's sustainable energy usage. FUN NOTE: The home's original blueprint was found during the renovation and now hangs over the main fireplace.
From the hall, you can choose to go through a doorway to a small landing with a doorway that leads to the side of the house, or down another small flight to the partial basement and crawl space. OR . . .

414 S. Fulton Street is mere blocks from the City of Salisbury downtown, vibrant with unique shops, a variety of locally-owned restaurants, community theatre, public library, and the $13M Bell Tower Green Park. A landmark Amtrak station is right downtown, or jump on the highway to head to Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and points beyond. Salisbury is a 2-hour drive to the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains or a 4-5 hour drive to North Carolina's dazzling Atlantic Ocean beaches.
Salisbury is the oldest continually populated colonial town in the western region of North Carolina, noted for its historic preservation. The West Square Neighborhood is like a living museum, a testimony to this, with beautifully preserved or meticulously restored homes. Mature oaks and maples form shady canopies over the sidewalks, enhancing the timeless, peaceful atmosphere and making it ideal for simply strolling the quiet, brick-lined sidewalks. Visitors and residents alike are drawn to the ornate woodwork, wide porches, turreted towers, and stained-glass windows that tell the story of a bygone era. The neighborhood is supported by an active neighborhood association that fosters listening, proactive engagement, and a sense of community while hosting fun events and get-togethers.
Residents take pride in maintaining the neighborhood’s historic integrity, and many of the homes have plaques detailing their history. Several of the city's Landmark Properties are located here. The West Square is part of Salisbury’s commitment to preservation. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the City of Salisbury's 5 local historic districts. The City's Historic Preservation Commission retains oversight on any exterior changes through a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process.
Now . . . it's time for YOU to come see this fabulous renovation for yourself, and make it your forever home.
