This Victorian era cottage defies cookie-cutter categorization. Although built in the Victorian architectural era, this single-story, circa 1885 cottage is cleanly designed without the embellishments of Queen Anne or other Victorian styles. Yet the design elements are there: a home framed by twin chimneys, a deep front porch with handsome pillars, the front door with its glass sidelights, long center hallway framed by symmetrical 15' x 15' front parlors, 10-foot ceilings, and many other vintage details.
This circa 1885 South Shaver Street home has the center hallway design of many single story Victorian homes, creating a wonderful open feel in the house. The rear part of the hallway may have at one time been a porch, and we love the array of windows that now let so much natural light into the generous space. This bright central space is wide enough that we can picture a home with a computer desk and an arrangement of houseplants and greenery. The center hallway culminates in a cute little laundry room at the back of the home. Note the original plank walls! Nothing says vintage home like 1880s plank wall material!The mint kitchen is another bright spot in this home, with custom cabinets, gleaming wide-plank hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and a skylight streaming natural daylight into this efficient space!
This super charming 2-bedroom / 2-bath (one with a clawfoot tub!) home retains lots of original details, and you will love its cheerful open feel.
The Master Bedroom has its own full private bath with lovely ceramic tile floors, plenty of storage space, and a walk-in shower.
Outside, you'll be picking your own peaches from the two peach trees in the white picket fenced front yard.The extra deep back yard, surrounded with shade trees, is enclosed with stockade-style fencing, a great privacy screen and place for children to play or pets to run freely. This fence also clearly demarcates boundaries of the shared driveway, a common feature in the historic neighborhoods in Salisbury.
