308 West Monroe Street, a 1890-1910 folk Victorian Queen Anne cottage with 1,313 square feet, two bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, is nestled between three circa 1897 sister houses in the heart of the prestigious West Square Historic District in Salisbury, North Carolina. Two large pin oaks and a front border of evergreen shrubs frame the property. The majestic trees offer wide swaths of shade, cooling the home in summer and creating the most enjoyable front-porch experiences.
Handsome brick steps lead up to a cottage-style front porch, a prize-winner with spindle friezes, trefoil brackets, and turned elements figuring prominently in its ornamentation, adding to the romance of this Victorian cottage.
Stepping inside, the knock-out feature in the spacious front parlor is the tray ceiling framed by impressive deep crown molding and trim. This feature adds a whole new dimension to the room, adding depth and visual interest, and completely adding a sense of Victorian grandeur to the home.
Enter the farmhouse-style kitchen from the dining room . . . and you are sure to be impressed with the cabinet space and the expanse of counter work area. The work island/breakfast bar here is a movable feature.
The Owner's Bedroom Suite offers a walk-in closet and has its own private full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom offers a handsome boxed bay window.
A quaint elevated outbuilding, mimicking a garage, is perfect for a workshop, artist's studio, a "She-Shed", "Man-Cave", or more!
In the center of the Historic West Square and only blocks from the Rowan County Library and Downtown center, which is bustling with plenty of activity, 308 W. Monroe Street is a stone's throw from Salisbury's many and varied restaurants (Seafood, Italian, American Bistro, Thai, and Vietnamese, to name a few!), community theaters, shops and brewery options! The fabulous Bell Tower Green park, a centerpiece of downtown Salisbury, is mere blocks away.
Located in a Historic District overlay, this sweet home is eligible for City of Salisbury Historic Preservation Grants for exterior improvements. City of Salisbury Historic Preservation Commission oversees changes to exterior components per Historic Design Standards that must be approved through a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process.
