Unique Circa 1925 Artist's Bungalow Sold!

Nestled into an idyllic corner of the North Main Historic District of Salisbury, North Carolina, sits a unique circa 1925 Arts & Crafts bungalow.  From the front facade, elevated from the sidewalk with a small set of brick steps, the home resembles many another bungalow with its shutter windows, azaleas and rose bushes, and gracious rocking chair porch with stately columns. But 120 E Miller Street has a surprise within! 

In 1960, a pair of sisters owned the now 2284 square-foot J. E. Blalock House.  It came to be so spacious as the sisters essentially added a second home abutted to the original Miller Street bungalow.  Unlike the common duplex, each sister had their own 'apartment', but living spaces flow from one to the other, not divided by separating walls. So, yes, two kitchens, two living rooms, two baths, and four bedrooms, seamlessly flowing from one to the other with a long stretch of sunlit windows.

In recent years, the reclusive artist Kenneth Koskela lived in the home, using the second apartment as studio and workspace, surrounded by a massive library of art, architecture, and history books, and a plethora of art supplies.

Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC listed the historic J. E. Blalock House, with its beautiful heart of pine floors and Craftsman features like the matching windows besides the fireplace in the living room, the unique window styling for a buffet in the dining room and the original circa 1930s kitchen cabinets, on April 10th. . . and this unique dwelling was under contract by April 14th.  Yes, it needed TLC but buyers saw the potential here in this striking home. Today, new owners move into this historic home!

The J. E. Blalock house is listed on the National Register of Historic Districts and is located in Salisbury's North Main Historic District directly behind the historic ca. 1799 John Steele House on what was once the Lombardy Plantation.  Changes to the exterior must be approved by the City of Salisbury's Historic Preservation Commission.
