Everyone's favorite!  The American Bungalow!  Welcome to 512 Heilig Avenue, listed by Greg Rapp of Salisbury Real Estate LLC, in Salisbury, North Carolina.

This circa 1925 Craftsman bungalow in Fulton Heights is the perfect example of America's favorite residential architectural style. And this sweet 2-bedroom bungalow has all the best-loved features of America's favorite home: the rocking chair front porch spanning the entire front of the house (with hardware already in place for your porch swing!), original wavy glass at the front door, and the beautiful original corner fireplace with original mission-style mantel and mirrored overmantel.

This vintage 1-story, 2-bedroom/2-bath bungalow has been newly restored with a new kitchen and two full bathrooms. Large rooms feature beautifully refinished original heart of pine floors that will take your breath away. The home's original 1925 window trims and moldings are all in place, including a picture rail in both bedrooms and the living and dining rooms along the 10' ceilings.A particularly nice window arrangement in the dining room floods the house with natural light. The home features new light fixtures throughout.

The newly renovated kitchen offers new cabinets, pretty new tile backsplash, granite countertops, new appliances, and more of those gleaming wood floors. A sweet little mudroom off the kitchen does double-duty as the laundry area. A large new deck with an attached storage/utility room is outside the mudroom's back door and will be your favorite place to entertain or dine al fresco! Steps from the deck lead to a small slab patio to expand your outdoor living space!  The deck overlooks your fenced-in backyard, with an 8' stockade-style privacy fence at the side and rear of the property. 

Both bathrooms have new tile; one bath features a walk-in shower, and the tub in the primary bedroom is newly reglazed. AND...the home received a new roof in 2022!

512 Heilig Avenue is located in the desirable Fulton Heights neighborhood, a national historic district, which has an active voluntary neighborhood association that hosts neighborhood events such as a HUGELY popular Halloween Costume Parade, and a Christmas holiday home tour. The neighborhood worked some years ago with the City of Salisbury to have its own park installed. This amazing circa 1925 bungalow is close to area shopping and Salisbury's vibrant downtown with a variety of restaurants, unique shops, entertainment, two micro-breweries, and the new Bell Tower Green park.

Opportunities abound in historic downtown Salisbury, North Carolina!  This one ~ just SOLD by Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC ~ is just one example!  But wait, there is more!

This wonderful circa 1890 2-story commercial property, in its prime location along the 100 block of  North Main Street in the center of this vibrant little downtown, offered so many opportunities on the street level - it's no wonder it got snatched up by a visionary developer!  Once a drug store,  - the opportunity to create a restaurant, bar, retail, or more on the street level was irresistible!  The second story, largely unfinished, offered opportunities to create loft downtown living apartments, and Greg's buyer is doing just that!! And as if this amazing building did not have enough going for it, 126/128 N. Main Street comes with FIVE of its very own parking spaces in rear of building! Ask anyone in Salisbury about parking and you'll understand why this is SUCH a special attribute!

Main Street, accessed via its own private front entry and staircase, is where where you'll find a blank slate ready for conversion to residential living.

AND . . . again . . . abundant parking conveys at the rear of the structure, a rare commodity downtown Salisbury!

Welcome to 1514 Brenner Avenue in Salisbury, North Carolina ~ a single-story, 2-bedroom/1-bath circa 1952 brick Mid Century Modern ranch home.

No doubt about it...this home needs some TLC, but look with your mind's eye and you will see how absolutely COOL this house will be with the right rehabilitation. It has all the bones of the truly awesome Mid Century Modern homes, and retains many of the features of this style of architecture: An open living room with an almost floor-to-ceiling multi-paned window, beamed ceiling, and brick fireplace wall with a long brick hearth.

An open kitchen, albeit in pretty rustic shape,  overlooks the living room. Check out the brick interior walls (WOW Factor!!!). Restoration experts: This could easily be a 3-bedroom house if the enclosed car port were to be finished off.

This one needs a complete rehab: The home needs a roof, and there are some cracks in the brick work. The HVAC is in working condition in this all-electric home (clean energy!). 

Yes, 1514 Brenner Avenue needs work, but the bones are terrific as is the location on a shaded lot right across the street from Salisbury's beautiful Veterans Administration Hospital campus!

This is a cash or conventional loan only and an 'AS-IS' sale ~ and is priced accordingly with consideration for the work the home needs.

So Mid Century Modern aficionados ~ roll up your sleeves because this 1,270 square-foot home is waiting for the love! Call Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 and let's go have a look!

Spencer, North Carolina - in addition to being the home of the North Carolina Transportation Museum, is home to one of the largest contiguous historic districts in the country. And while historic homes dating from the late 1800s through the 1940s abound here, new home construction is popping up left and right as today's market is still realizing a shortage of available homes for buyers.

This adorable single-story, 2-bedroom/1-bath home boasts new flooring, carpets, new bathroom and a new kitchen with new appliances, new white cabinetry, new countertops, and a laundry area.

The town's neighborhoods emanate from the beautiful Library Park, where its circa 1943 library, formerly a school, is run by the Town of Spencer (not part of the Rowan County Library system). The NC Transportation Museum draws thousands of visitors annually, especially for events such as Thomas the Train, winter holiday train rides, and The Polar Express ride.
