Fixer-Upper Victorian Cottage ~ circa 1900 ~ FOR SALE!

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and tackle a cute Victorian Cottage restoration?

Located in the West Square Historic District of Salisbury North Carolina, 721 S. Church Street is a single-story home in one of Salisbury's most prestigious neighborhoods. Yes, this home has suffered neglect and therefore it is the fixer-upper's dream project! Bcause of the conditin, this home is being sold AS-IS, but has SO much potential. 721 S. Church Street could easily be a three bedroom home with some minor reconfiguration. Currently, access to the third bedroom is through the bathroom, but a center hall could fix that.  Need to take a look?  Call/Text Greg Rapp with Wallace Realty! 704.213.6846.

Fixer upper houses -- a.k.a. “handyman homes” -- are distressed real estate properties that require repairs and/or remodeling. What makes fixer upper houses for sale so attractive are the asking prices, which are typically much less than traditional turnkey homes in the same area. That’s because the seller knows that the buyer will have to invest additional time and money into updating and improving a fixer upper property. And 721 S. Church Street . . . at just $45,000 . . . is no exception!

If you are considering a fixer upper as a first home, it's best to go after houses that are located in nice neighborhoods such as this one in Salisbury NC. Don't be scared off by fixer upper projects that look rugged. Often, some minor TLC can go a long way when it comes to renovating a fixer upper home. You need to be able to see past the imperfections. It’s all about condition and knowing your personal renovation budget limits.

This 1600+ SF home features a large living room and dining room. A unique vintage sawn balustrade decorates the front porch, probably original to the home. Historic Salisbury Foundation has Historic Covenants and Deed Restrictions on this home, and it is sold AS-IS. The best part about 721 S. Church Street is its location ~ its West Square Historic District neighborhood and its proximity to the vibrant center of Salisbury's award winning downtown with restaurants, public library, unique shopping boutiques, museums and galleries.

There are no definitive, fool-proof “Fixer Upper For Beginners” or “Fixer Upper For Dummies” solutions or resources. Indeed, fixer uppers have the unique ability to be total nightmares and/or absolute goldmines. We think this circa 1900 Victorian Cottage is a potential goldmine! Come be a part of the strong preservation movement in Salisbury NC! Call Greg Rapp at Wallace Realty to see (sorry ~ no sight-unseen offers are accepted!).  704.213.6846 is the number to call/text!
