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.

Cozy 1914 Bungalow Cottage ~ Newly Renovated ~ FOR SALE!

This vintage bungalow?  Yes, please!  This newly renovated circa 1914 cottage is just as cute as a button! And at just $169,000 ~ it's priced just right! Let Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC show you this adorable 854 square-foot cottage that offers compact living charm but with that vintage character and quality not found in newly built houses!  

Welcome to 904 S. Salisbury Avenue in historic Spencer, North Carolina! This charming 2-bedroom home sits on an elevated lot across the street from the wonderful North Carolina Transportation Museum.  

When you walk up the staircase from the sidewalk, a spacious 8'x26' front porch greets you. You can just picture a porch swing and rocking chairs for those warm fall evenings!  Then, step into your beautiful living room with gorgeous original hardwood floors refinished and polished to a gleam, and original wood wainscoting, a signature component of the 1900s bungalow style. Soaring ceilings and large windows make the home feel open and airy.  The living room's focal point is the original 1914 coal-burning fireplace (non-operating) with its beautifully maintained original mantel and tile surround. The sweetest little coat closet features a small beveled glass window atop its door.

You will find the eat-in kitchen right off the living room ~ totally modernized with new cabinetry, granite countertops, and a pretty white subway-tile backsplash.  An array of large double windows, some that still retain their 1900s wavy glass, beautifully stream natural light into the kitchen as in all the other living spaces. The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher.

The two bedrooms to the rear of the home are separated by a brand new Jack & Jill bathroom in between with a pretty tiled walk-in shower! A darling laundry/utility room with a doorway to the side walkway will accommodate an apartment-size washer/dryer.

  

This all-electric home offers a new HVAC system with heat pump.  The exterior is sheathed in vinyl siding (low maintenance!), the roof is approximately 6 years old, and all the exterior trim is freshly painted.  The interior is all freshly painted as well!

904 S. Salisbury Avenue offers a newly graveled parking area at the front, while a deep stretch of rear yard lined by a backdrop of trees provides loads of room for outdoor activities.

The tiny house movement is a growing trend, and although tiny houses are typically defined as 400 square feet or less ~ at over 800 square feet ~ 904 S. Salisbury Avenue is not truly a 'tiny home' but still offers a minimalist lifestyle with the potential for mobility and a reduced environmental footprint. Living in a compact house can significantly reduce living expenses, with lower utility bills and maintenance costs. Additionally, smaller houses often lead to lower property taxes due to their reduced size and value compared to larger homes. The fiscal benefits of tiny house living can lead to a more flexible and less stressful lifestyle, with more control over your financial future.

904 S. Salisbury Avenue is located just a few blocks from the Town of Spencer's Historic Downtown with delightful restaurants, shopping, the beautiful Library Park, and an awesome community garden.  Just down the main road is the City of Salisbury's vibrant downtown with nightlife, theater, microbrewery, more unique shops and dining, and the beautiful Bell Tower Green that hosts a variety of community events. 

S. Salisbury Avenue is also State Highway 29, the original road to Charlotte before the interstate system became the preferred route.  It is the main corridor from the north, through the Town of Spencer, into Salisbury, and beyond south to Concord and Charlotte.  While this road can at times be a busy route, 904 S. Salisbury Avenue is separated from the hub-bub by its elevation, the tiered retaining wall at the sidewalk, and its allée of a trio of flowering dogwood trees that provide privacy, beauty, and shade!  The advantage of this address is its proximity to EVERYTHING ~ a short hop to fun activities in Spencer and Salisbury, a short drive to High Rock Lake, and the greater metro areas of Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem are an hour's drive away!

This wonderful updated little 110-year-old cottage is turn-key and ready for your personal touches!  Call Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 to see this 'tiny home' in person and see how amazing small-space living can be!
