Circa 1915 Spacious Solid Foursquare Needs Some Love - For Sale by Greg Rapp | Salisbury Real Estate LLC

This stately circa 1915 hybrid Prairie Foursquare home is looking for some love! Let Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC show you this amazing opportunity to restore a vintage home with your special touch that makes it YOUR home!


What we love about 702 North Fulton Street:

• This circa 1915 home is built as solid as a rock! It's 2500+ square feet is designed with super-spacious rooms in a great layout! Granite steps lead to a fabulous veranda that spans the front of the home featuring the home's original rounded columns.

• 702 N. Fulton Street is located in the heart of the City Park neighborhood, a quiet neighborhood filled with vintage early 20th century homes, sidewalks, and pretty gardens ~ and is a stone's throw to both City Park and Hurley Park, two of Salisbury's most beautiful green spaces!

• This beautiful vintage home retains many of its original features. Original coal-burning fireplaces feature beautiful period correct mantels and Cambridge Tile fireplace surrounds, remarkably intact, all remain in foyer, living and dining rooms. There is even a fireplace in the kitchen! Original hardwood floors throughout will gleam again with a little elbow grease!





• The home offers many newer replacement windows, the original pocket doors between the spacious living and dining rooms, and original trim throughout.  The front door boasts its original sidelights.

• A grand foyer features one of he home's original fireplaces with its Arts & Crafts style mantel and pretty green tilework. The staircase winds up to the second story from here with its sturdy original balustrade and newel posts. A door here leads to an amazing tile-floored sunroom, also accessed via the kitchen.

• Speaking of kitchen . . . the space is huge with built-in cubbies for refrigerator and dishwasher, and a giant center work island. A laundry room off the kitchen leads to a large brick patio at the rear of the home that overlooks a deep back yard.





• Upstairs you'll find four pleasantly sized bedrooms, but the bathroom here is totally gutted....
Which brings us to . . . 
What needs some love at 702 North Fulton Street:

But it's all about potential, right?  And this home on its elevated corner lot is loaded with potential!!

The home has suffered over time and needs work, there is no doubt about it! Historic Salisbury Foundation, the local preservation organization that has saved over 120 endangered properties in the Salisbury/Rowan County area, is offering this grand home for sale and stabilization. So let's take a look: 
>
• The upstairs bath will be a major overhaul, from-scratch project. The kitchen, though large, sunny and spacious, needs updating throughout.


>

• There is AC on the second story only. Both upper and lower heating units are currently not functioning, but may be repairable.

• The piers underneath the home need attention. Some may need to be rebuilt or replaced and the floors need leveling.

• The rear yard, though generously deep and fenced in, needs grading work to steer water flow away from the home. A handsome brick patio was sadly installed incorrectly and will probably need to be removed to also alleviate the water intrusion under the house which is the cause of the pier issues.



As with all preservation projects offered by Historic Salisbury Foundation, 702 North Fulton Street will carry Historic Covenants and Restrictions. The Foundation will look to protect the fireplaces, mantels, staircase, original floors and woodwork/trim in this home. They do encourage newer, modern-living style bathrooms and kitchens so there is a lot of flexibility here. Realtors can find sample C&Rs in the document section of the MLS listing ~ or ask Realtor® Greg Rapp - who not only lives in his own historic house with C&Rs but is the area expert for vintage and historic properties and he can explain any intricacies.

With all that said, the potential for a return to grandeur is huge at 702 North Fulton Street. Such a solid house, great rooms, great location.  Want to see for yourself?  Call Greg Rapp, and we will walk you through this vintage historic home together for an honest and straightforward approach to this renovation project!  704.213.6846.

Always wanted to 'Flip' a house? Here is your opportunity!

Calling all investors and flippers!!! 

Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC has an opportunity for you!  And opportunities like 412 Jordan Avenue in Spencer, North Carolina are harder and harder to find in today's fast-moving real estate market!




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!

The Town of Spencer features the nation's largest contiguous historic district and is filled with charming vintage homes from the late 1800s to the 1940s.  A grid of sidewalk lined neighborhoods surrounds a beautiful Library Park.  Nearby is the North Carolina Transportation Museum, a destination that hosts many amazing events year-round.  New homeowners will be sitting on the rocking-chair front porch at 412 Jordan Avenue listening to the nostalgic sounds of old-timey steam engine whistles and more.  

The City of Salisbury is right next door with a thriving downtown filled with unique shops, over 20 restaurants, two microbreweries, a nationally accredited art gallery, its own symphony orchestra, and two community theatres.  At the end of a fun night out in Salisbury, peaceful Spencer is just a stone's throw away. Four local colleges support higher-education in the heart of the community: Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Catawba College, Hood Theological Seminary, and just down the road is Pfeiffer University.

Vintage 1928 Craftsman Bungalow - Original Details - Priced to Sell

You hear vintage, but on this amazing Craftsman Bungalow...we mean vintage, vintage, VINTAGE!  This 1,803 square-foot, circa 1928 bungalow is FILLED with original vintage details. And Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC has it priced to SELL!

Welcome to 206 Rowan Avenue in the Town of Spencer, North Carolina!




Climbing roses and Carolina jessamine spill over a white picket fence as you approach this single-story home.  But it's the details within this fixer-upper that will charm any old-house lover!

Original shiplap and beadboard walls, an amazing butler's pantry with a wall of built-ins is part of a sweet little breakfast room. You'll find more built-in shelves, drawers, and more closets than you'd expect in a home of this era . . . each cedar-lined!




Let's take a walk!

The front veranda was enclosed some years ago, obscuring some of the rich architectural detail here: curved trim, brick pillars, and a large seating area.



In through the handsome front door with its multi-paned sidelights, you'll step into a large living room with one of the home's (3)coal-burning fireplaces (now non-functional).  You'll love the original 4-over-one and 3-over-one windows and wood flooring here. Through to the right and you're in another spacious room: the formal dining room. The rustic whitewashed piano conveys!







We fell immediately in love with the Breakfast Room/Butlers' Pantry, and your walk-through leads you from there into the world's most charming kitchen...untouched by time: Large vintage cast iron & porcelain sink with drainboard, shiplap walls, and beautiful wood floors that with a new finish, would be spectacular!






An adorable rear side porch off the kitchen has its original beadboard walls and has been converted to an efficient laundry room. 


A beautiful center hall with soaring ceilings divides this half of the home from three bedrooms, each with its cedar closet and large, airy windows, and more wood floors throughout. The center bedroom boasts another of the home's fireplaces and was used as a family room or den by the current owner.








We love the primary bath with its clawfoot tub, vintage sink, and pretty honeycomb tile floor.  A second half bath is the sweetest little vintage powder room with shiplap and beadboard wood walls and another antique corner sink.






But wait...there's more!

Downstairs, a walk-out basement with crawl space is at the rear of the home. The space is just perfect for a workshop with beautiful sunny windows overlooking the deep back yard.  





This Arts and Crafts bungalow at 206 Rowan Avenue awaits your TLC. At under $140,000, the home is being SOLD-AS-IS. The house will need some foundation repair and a new roof. The electricity system has been newly rewired (per owner) and about 1/2 the house has been replumbed. 

Location, location!





This wonderful vintage home is in the Town of Spencer's Historic District, with the Library Park at one end of the block and the 2nd St Park at the other end of this neighborhood lined with historic homes. The cute Town Center is just a few blocks away, and the amazing North Carolina Transportation Museum is just a few blocks further.  You'll be listening to that nostalgic sound of the steam engine whistle from your front porch.




If you love old houses and original, vintage detail...and don't mind a little elbow grease to get this home back to its showcase condition...206 Rowan Avenue is the buy for YOU!  And while it does need some TLC, this house is most definitely livable in its current rustic condition.

Contact Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC for your private showing 704.213.6846.  Greg is the area's leading agent for vintage and historic homes, and can give you the down-n-dirty on what the home needs as well as its advantages! Let's do this!
