Circa 1923 Bungalow ~ Crisp & Clean ~ for Sale with Salisbury Real Estate.

Step back in time to an era of streetcars and phonographs ~ where cozy bungalows lined neighborhood streets, and you sipped lemonade and watched the world go by from your shady veranda . . .

Welcome to 705 North Fulton Street in Salisbury, North Carolina ~ for sale with Greg Rapp, Salisbury Real Estate LLC!

Enter this shining 1,526 s.f., circa 1923 bungalow via the welcoming front porch. Then, step through the custom-stained-glass front door where a spacious living room greets you. Straight away you'll notice the vintage 1923 details: the gorgeous brick fireplace, built-in shelving, and large, handsome windows - all original to the house!

Follow gleaming original hardwood floors through the open floor plan to the dining room, another warm and welcoming space. The current owner enjoyed using this room as a sitting room, and configured the parlor as the dining room.

This clean, crisp 1923 Arts and Crafts home had been completely renovated/restored in 2020! Part of that renovation is the brand-NEW (2020) kitchen with luxury vinyl plank floors (so comfy underfoot!). Granite counters are edged with both granite and subway tile backsplash, while the stove features a decorative tile backsplash. Brand-new cupboards offer plenty of storage!

A sweet laundry room off the kitchen offers shelving that pulls double duty as a pantry! The laundry room leads to a new deck with privacy screen that overlooks the deep backyard. The deck will surely be your favorite entertaining area!

A NEW (2020) hall bath features crisp wainscoting, a walk-in shower, and a lovely farm sink mounted on an antique dresser. 

The main bath WOWS with new subway-tile walls, a deep built-in porcelain tub, and original vintage hex-tile flooring!

The three bedrooms offer more of the beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The current owner utilized the third and front bedroom as an office, and painted the walls a rich iron-ore grey!

Under the entire footprint of the house, including the front porch, you'll find a huge, functional basement. The basement offers garage door entry at the rear for parking, but its sheer size leaves plenty of room for a workshop and storage spaces, with its tall ceilings and concrete floor. This is another 1,679 feet of space!!

The exterior is a visually pleasing combination of plank, cedar shakes, brick, and granite. The 'rocking-chair' front porch, with its brick and granite details, boasts new flooring and will be your favorite spot for enjoying morning coffee or spending a lazy summer afternoon. The home received a new roof during the renovation (2020).

The historic 1920s-30s North Fulton neighborhood is 2-blocks from Salisbury's beautiful City Park and Hurley Park.  The streetcars are long gone, but just (7) blocks away, you'll find Salisbury's award-winning downtown with unique shops, restaurants, nightlife, galleries, a microbrewery, three community theatres, and public library. 

Need some big-city vibes once in a while? Salisbury is approximately a 1-hour drive from metro Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem. Need to get away from the city vibe? Salisbury is a 2-hour drive to the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, and approximately 4-hours to our Atlantic Ocean beaches.

So, get ready to put the phonograph on, and step back in time.  Make this clean and crisp, fully restored, vintage house your home!  Call Realtor® Greg Rapp for your private showing: 704.213.6846.

The circa 1938 Luther Cabin is SOLD! With Salisbury Real Estate LLC & Preservation North Carolina

A property like the Luther Cabin does not come along every day!  Known as 'Sleepy Hollow' ~ an ultra-rustic, 1930s 2-story cabin nestled into 25 wooded acres, with a pre-Civil War log barn . . . and protective covenants and restrictions preserving the integrity of the property!  READ the full story HERE.

This step-back-in-time was donated to Preservation North Carolina, which contracted with Salisbury Real Estate LLC to sell this untouched, fully furnished historic cabin and over 25 acres of land.

What does this mean?  It means developers were jumping on the chance to scoop up this property, clear it, and build multi-unit housing.  Whelp . . . they just could NOT.  

The right buyer always comes around...and we closed on this property on April 1st. The buyer will continue to preserve this special cabin and historic site.

I love representing properties like this, knowing they will be preserved in perpetuity. I love the uniqueness of the historic properties and the stories they tell.

While the nature of this type of transaction can be challenging (and sometimes difficult), it is most gratifying to know that these properties are saved through deed restrictions for generations to come!

Kudos to Preservation North Carolina for the work they do.  This is my second transaction with Preservation NC, and have sold a large number of properties for the Historic Salisbury Foundation, both as the original sale where covenants and restrictions were placed on the properties and in re-sales. I enjoy building these relationships with our preservation-minded organizations.

When it is time to sell your piece of history, with all its stories, let Salisbury Real Estate LLC help you find that right buyer: 704.213.6846.
