Monroe Street is one of them!  The home overlooks the community's landmark Hambley-Wallace Mansion across the street, and is surrounded by other wonderfully appointed homes.

This must-see home is just 4 blocks from the public library and Salisbury's impressive new $13-million-dollar central park: The Bell Tower Green. Two more blocks and you're in the heart of the downtown with theatres, art galleries, eateries, bars, and specialty shops. Neighbors will tell you that downtown living is wonderful ~ where the sounds of church bells mark the hour, mature pin oaks shade the streets, and historic homes and buildings surround you! When you call Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate to see this wonderful home, plan some extra time to walk the park, shop the shops, and grab a bite to eat or a craft beer from one of Salisbury's two award-winning microbreweries. You won't be disappointed!

418 W. Monroe Street is just a 1.5 miles from Interstate-85 that makes travel a cinch . . . and speaking of travel, the Amtrak depot in the Historic Salisbury Station is also just one mile away.  One hour north or south and you are in popular metropolitan areas: Charlotte, Greensboro, or Winston-Salem, yet in Salisbury you don't suffer the dense traffic that accompany these larger cities. You can visit their sports venues, museums, culture, and nightlife in a day-trip and return to the peace and quiet of Salisbury by evening!  The Blue Ridge Mountains are just a 2-hour drive, and the North Carolina coastline with its beautiful sandy beaches is a 4-or 5-hour drive.  You CAN have it all!
