When just any old 4-bedroom house won't do . . . and you're looking for a home with quality, class, and character ~ the stately Victorian at 226 S. ELLIS STREET comes along! Located in the prestigious West Square Historic District of Salisbury, North Carolina, this circa 1895 spacious home exudes the grace of the era at every turn.

226 S. Ellis Street is a solidly built, turn-of-the-century, Victorian-style home with a deep, wrap-around front veranda that winds 3/4 of the way around the house. This 42-wide outdoor space is large enough to create separate sitting areas and will become your favorite relaxation zone!

Step through the handsome oversized entry door, and you will find yourself in a spacious entry hall, complete with the original fireplace with original mantel and tiles, a sweet little under-staircase 'nook', and the grand staircase to the second story. A beautiful ceiling medallion graces the light fixture here.

Hardwood floors, all of the period millwork, and original fireplaces and radiators are the cast of characters that make this home so special.

The 17' x 14' kitchen spans the rear of the home. Large enough to host a square dance, this kitchen was recently modernized and includes the pretty free-standing center work island. This amazing space offers ample counter space, a gas range, a new beadboard ceiling, and plenty of cabinetry. Laundry is discreetly tucked away behind doors in the kitchen, and a charming mudroom leads to the rear entrance and a graciously sized, deep backyard.

The home's grand staircase, with newel post and balusters in perfect condition, leads up to an upper hall, a large sunlit mezzanine that easily serves as another sitting or reading area. From the mezzanine stretches a hallway that leads you to the upper three bedrooms, all nicely sized rooms at roughly 14' x 14' each!

Located within one of Salisbury’s designated Historic Districts, this home benefits from City of Salisbury exterior architectural oversight to preserve its timeless character. Some exterior restrictions may apply; however, the City frequently offers Historic Preservation Grants (budgets permitting) that help homeowners in these districts with repairs and upgrades.

226 S. Ellis Street is located in the heart of the West Square Historic District within a grid of vintage homes and treelined streets and sidewalks. The Historic West Square (also known as the Salisbury Historic District) is supported by the Olde Salisbury Neighborhood Association and is the first neighborhood in the City of Salisbury to receive the historic designation. One look at the plethora of gorgeously appointed homes from the late 1800s through the early 1900s will tell you why this pedestrian- and family-friendly neighborhood is one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Salisbury.

So . . . you might have missed the opportunity at 226 S. Ellis Street, but if you love the idea of living in a historic home in Salisbury, NC, do not hesitate to give Realtor Greg Rapp a call.

The Historic Circa 1828 Jesse Clement House on 13+/- Acres ~ FOR SALE with Greg Rapp / Salisbury Real Estate LLC

2026-09-11T15:32:24.138-04:00

Step Back in Time: The historic, circa 1828 Jesse A. Clement House on 13+/- Acres is for sale with Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC. Immerse yourself in early American history with this extraordinary early 1800s house, a rare and beautifully preserved Federal-style early colonial home in historic Mocksville, North Carolina.

A turn off the main road to Mocksville takes you through a small neighborhood to an impressive brick-columned gate ~ and through this gate, another world opens up to a picturesque clearing where this sprawling 13+ acre estate stands with the handsome, nearly 200-year-old brick home at its centerpiece!

Welcome to 290 East Maple Avenue!

The bricks used to build this rock-solid 2-story, 4-bedroom/3 bath home were handmade on site, and the exterior offers an unusual combination of Flemish and English bond patterns. Much of the original interior remains intact, including pegged doors and hand-planed woodwork. You can see the large pegs in the attic tying the roof together.

The home's remarkable structural character is showcased with robust 16-inch-thick solid brick walls on the first floor and a unique, curved step-back in the stairwell where the architecture tapers toward the second floor. These thick walls are evident in the first-floor rooms via handsome deep windowsills and the center hall bearing walls. Meticulously restored in 1978 to strict National Park Service Standards, period details abound, including a striking 3-lite transom above the front door, original moldings, distinctive chair rails, wide heart-of-pine flooring, and deep window openings housing original wavy glass panes.

An avenue of trees once led to this early 19th-century home. The approach road to the two-story brick house no longer falls between these rows of trees, yet both the house and the trees still stand as reminders of the social, economic, and political contributions of the Clement family to Davie County. Today, a curved brick walkway takes you past vintage boxwoods to the double-hung front doors with three unique oval transom windows. Entering here brings you directly into the handsome center hallway bedecked with chair molding, crown molding, and shiplap ceilings ~ a common theme throughout the home. These load-bearing walls are also 16-inch thick!

The heart of the home is a grand 25'x15' parlor, a bright and open space that once served as a prominent gathering place for early community leaders. Three of the home's large 9-over-9 windows stream natural daylight into this warm room that offers original heart pine floors and a hand-carved mantel at the original fireplace, one of seven in the house (three of which are fully operational).

While the home honors its deep roots, a thoughtfully integrated first-floor 'salt-box' addition provides the modern luxury of a primary owners' suite off the living room, complete with a spacious walk-in closet. The bathroom adjoined to this 1st-floor bedroom doubles as the common main-floor bathroom.

At the opposite side of the center hall, a formal dining room echoes a beautiful fireplace, deep windowsill, original chair molding and crown molding painted a deep historic red, and more shiplap ceilings. The current owner uses this stately room as an additional sitting room.

From the dining room, enter the modernized eat-in kitchen with yet another fireplace, oodles of cupboards, rustic chair molding, crown molding, brick veneer backsplash, and more shiplap ceilings. Another deep-set, 9-over-9 window overlooks a wonderful screened porch.

Up the original 1828 staircase, a center loggia with more original heart pine flooring leads to the upper bedrooms.

Here, a second owners' suite awaits, featuring a cozy bedroom opening to a spacious private sitting room, and a dedicated full bath with an artistic modern bowl sink and tub with a handheld shower.

Wall-to-wall carpet in two of the three upper bedrooms softens the floors underfoot. One of these bedrooms has built-in shelving flanking its fireplace! (There were originally 4 upper bedrooms; however, two were adjoined to create the primary suite with a private bath and sitting room). A third full bath and a conveniently located hallway laundry closet round out the upper level.

Returning down the stairs, the center hall leads back to the gracious screened porch addition that exits to the amazing expanse of immaculate tree-lined yard. Beyond the main home, this expansive acreage offers fantastic versatility.

A detached garage built in 2010 includes a fully equipped gracious guest suite featuring a full bathroom, a cozy kitchenette, and window AC—perfect for guests, a home office, or a creative studio.

Picturesque outbuildings dot the property, including a wonderful garden shed with a little fenced-in garden area and an attached (former) chicken coop, and a small shed, offering excellent additional storage or workshop space. Brick pathways from building to building create a neat grid. A charming fenced-in, raised-bed garden lies between the garden shed and the garage.

This historic acreage includes a gravel driveway easement utilized by Duke Power for nearby substation access. A Norfolk Southern rail track lies to the east of the house; interestingly, this is the only elevation that does not include the 9-over-9 windows! The current owner says that only about one train per day passes, usually slowly and relatively quietly.

Old houses often possess a unique blend of historical charm, solid construction, and architectural character that modern homes may lack. They can tell stories through their unique features, craftsmanship, and the materials used.

So . . . what makes an old house special?

1. Historical Charm and Character:

Unique Architectural Features: Old houses often have architectural styles and details that are not commonly seen in modern construction, like intricate woodwork, crown moldings, and ornate fireplaces.

Craftsmanship: Older homes often showcase meticulous craftsmanship, with details and finishes that are often lacking in modern homes.

Sense of History: These homes can connect you to the past, providing a glimpse into how people lived in previous eras.

2. Solid Construction:

Quality Materials: Older homes are often built with durable materials like old-growth lumber, plaster walls, and sturdy foundations, making them potentially more resilient than newer homes.

Strong Structure: The construction methods of older homes, like hand-nailed framing and solid walls, can provide a more structurally sound and stable home.

3. Unique Features and Details:

Built-in Storage: Old houses often have features like built-in closets, pantries, or cellars that provide extra storage space.

Specialized Features: Some older homes may have features like coal chutes, dumbwaiters, or other elements that reflect the lifestyles of the past.

Natural Cooling: Homes built before air conditioning was common often have features that promote natural cooling, like thicker walls and layouts that allow for cross-breezes.

So if you're on the fence about purchasing a 200-year-old home, keep these important attributes in mind! You just won't find this in a newly constructed home!

This treasure at 290 E Maple Avenue stands as a testament to early 19th-century craftsmanship. The property is well documented, which isn’t surprising, given its prominence. Jesse A. Clement built this plantation house around 1828, making it one of Davie County's oldest homes. The exact build date is unknown, but Jesse and Melinda Clement moved into the brick, two-story Federal home in 1828, soon after their marriage. Some think the home was actually built about 1823 or 1824 ~ so it may have already celebrated its bicentennial! Rev. William F. Long purchased the home in 1978 from the Clement heirs and restored it to its original condition. They lived in the house until its sale in 2006 to new owners who operated a Bed-and-Breakfast here: The Clement House Bed and Breakfast (with two guest rooms). The National Park Service listed the house on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Only four families have owned this home in the last 200 years! Preservation North Carolina covenants and deed restrictions apply, protecting it for future generations.

Combining timeless architectural preservation, significant acreage, and flexible modern amenities, the ca. 1828 Jesse A. Clement House at 290 E Maple Avenue is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a living piece of North Carolina history. Briefly used as a Bed-and-Breakfast, it is set to be such again, or even better... this picturesque oasis can be your own truly private residential homestead.

When you are ready to step back in time, surrounded by solid grandeur at the Jesse Clement House, call Realtor® Greg Rapp for your exclusive showing: 704.213.6846. It's time to make this amazing homestead your own.

A Centennial Homestead ~ Circa 1876 - 18+ Acres - 1600' of Riverfront!! ~ FOR SALE with GREG RAPP

2026-08-14T16:49:55.407-04:00

Some houses you visit... quickly and efficiently. This one you wander, taking it all in.

One of the principal landmarks at South Yadkin River . . . the Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House (c. 1876) - a fully restored historic riverfront estate - is FOR SALE in Salisbury, North Carolina. Welcome to 8670 Hwy 601 North ~ a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Rowan County and South River history! Let Realtor Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC take you on a tour of the elegant homestead known as the Centennial House!

The Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House, circa 1876, now fully restored, was built by John “Captain Jack” Lindsay. This two-story wood-frame home remains remarkably close to its original footprint.

Nestled in the trees along the South Yadkin River and set back from the road about 175 feet, a hedgerow of 100-year-old boxwoods along the drive takes you up to the home. A view of the historic elements at the exterior greets you as you approach the front of the home via a beautiful brick path: decorative corbels and brackets, stately chimneys, the metal roof, and the 34' front porch wrapped with its lovely, original pierced wood railing. Two massive magnolia trees, likely original to the property, frame the front of the house.

The house, situated on the southeast side of the South Yadkin (South River) with approximately 1,600 feet of river frontage, follows an L-shaped plan with a center hallway. Greg Rapp first listed this homestead for sale in 2016, when this historic property required some TLC. It sold within just days to its current owners, who executed major permitted updates and restoration, sensitive to the home's era. The circa 2017-2019 restoration included a NEW KITCHEN, NEW BATHROOMS, NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE, NEW PLUMBING, and NEW HVAC!

THE HOUSE

Let's step inside ~ ~ ~

Original wide heart-of-pine floors greet you at the center hall. You'll note original tongue-and-groove shiplap walls and ceilings in many of the rooms. Some of the original wood-burning fireplaces have been converted to remote-controlled propane gas.

From the hall, you step into the front parlor ~ a warm hug of a room with unpainted shiplap walls topped with softly painted crown molding. Two large windows flank the original 1870s fireplace (now propane-gas-burning) with its handsome mantelpiece.

From here, a cased opening leads you to a sunny formal dining room with more gorgeous wood floors, bright windows, and another of the home's original fireplaces.

Step from here into the NEW KITCHEN, a top-to-bottom new installation with granite countertops, a dual-fuel range, farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry. The wall of storage cabinets in a warm stained wood was built from recycled wood from the 1820s Blackmer House in Salisbury, a historic home that was restored after a devastating fire. Pretty light fixtures here are enhanced by ceiling canister lighting to create a high-functioning workspace. The dual-fuel range is highlighted by an exposed brick chimney breast as a backdrop ~ a stunning feature in this stylish chef's kitchen!

Beyond the kitchen is a cozy and welcoming breakfast nook/enclosed porch ~ color-washed in a soothing minty green, with loads of sunny multi-paned windows, transom windows, a counter with more storage cupboards, and French doors that lead outdoors to a fenced-in kitchen garden and handsome brick patio.

Speaking of color-washes: a stunning 1st floor bath, washed in a dramatic indigo, is LOADED with additional cupboards and storage!

This 3-bedroom home offers TWO primary suites: one on the first floor with a walled in fireplace (potential to reopen), and a beautiful new private bathroom. Details include a custom tile walk-in shower and basket-weave tile flooring.

A truly stunning, second-floor primary suite includes its own private sitting room with stained wood walls and a fireplace backed with its exposed brick chimney ~ so handsome and the perfect retreat!! This second primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with a clawfoot tub AND another walk-in, custom-tile shower. A dual vanity with whimsical mosaic sinks is backed by another exposed brick chimney breast, creating another unique focal point. Off this suite is where you'll find a convenient laundry room.

In the upper hall, between the 2nd floor primary suite and bedroom #3 ~ sits a cozy study or office area. The third bedroom, featuring more shiplap walls and another pretty chandelier, overlooks the gardens below.

In the third-floor attic space, old house enthusiasts will be excited to see the original post and beam construction...no nails here, a lost art form!

THE GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS

One of the true stunners on this property, aside from this spectacular house, is the historic 1,173 sq. ft. original bathhouse that overlooks the banks of a sandy beach area below at the river—a popular bathing and picnic spot in the late 1800s when dams created 'swimming holes'.

This huge, jaw-dropping rustic space showcases open-span design, exposed truss ceilings, and a porch with seasonal river views. This open and spacious, large building features a small entry room/kitchen area that opens to an enormous open room under open trusses with a fireplace (picture fiddle players and dancers here!) and built-in benches lining the side walls.

A windowed porch looks out over the river's floodplain - or where perhaps the rumored beach once lapped the shores.

The lower level underneath, with a distinct 'root-cellar' appeal, is accessed by a narrow staircase along the outside of the building. The bathhouse historically served double duty as a Mason's lodge and beach house, making it as rare as it is beautiful. This building, across the driveway from the main house, features a small kitchen area, but the open room and the porch are the true stars of the show! Picture what you could do with this wonderful space!

A two-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a boutique floral shop, complete with a beautifully landscaped brick entry patio, French doors, a dog-wash station, and a mini-split HVAC system.

The property also includes a stable with 8 stalls, a tack room/utility room, and permanent stairs to a hayloft. Solar panels installed on the stable's roof help to power all the structures on the property.

Additional Property Notes

This property is approximately 18 acres (much of this is floodplain) along the river, with the house and garage safely on higher ground, above the flood zone. The property adjoins state-owned game land, creating an added buffer against future development.

The neighboring property has a private airfield, so you may hear a small aircraft take off from time to time! The property is enrolled in a farm lease tax program, lowering the tax rate for the land. The Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House is eligible for the county's Landmark Status, which, if designated, would further reduce taxes on the home. The house is featured in the book, 'The Architecture of Rowan County' by David Foard Hood.

This grand estate, The Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House, on the South Yadkin River, may just be the homestead you've been waiting for! To see this amazing landmark property, make an appointment with Greg Rapp ~ noted preservation and historic property specialist in Rowan County ~ for your exclusive showing: (704) 213-6846. You'll want to wander. . . Don't let this one get away ~ it's just that good!

Attractive 1923 Bungalow ~ Attractive Fulton Heights ~ Attractive Price!

2026-07-09T13:31:19.830-04:00

Whether you're purchasing your first home or simplifying your next chapter, this charming 1923 bungalow offers the perfect balance of character, comfort, and manageable living. With just over 1,600 square feet, yet 3-4 bedrooms and 3 baths (1-full/2-half), it's just the right size—room to live, entertain, and enjoy without the upkeep of a larger home. Ready to have a look?

Welcome to 205 Elm Street, a charming 1923 Craftsman Bungalow in the desirable Fulton Heights Neighborhood of Salisbury, North Carolina ~ listed with Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC!

The lovely neighborhood of Fulton Heights came into existence in 1902 when the Southern Development Company bought nearly 100 acres in south Salisbury and subdivided it for sale ~ Salisbury's first 'subdivision'! It was then a highly desirable residential community on the outskirts of Salisbury, connected to Salisbury by the electric trolley line, with all the modern amenities – waterworks, sewer, electricity and long-distance telephone service by Southern Bell! Today, this neighborhood remains a highly desirable area boasting shaded streets in a walkable grid and its own park! Fulton Heights was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 to assist in the preservation of the neighborhood's many architectural examples that range from 1906 through the 1940s. It consists of over 500 significant structures that include residential architectural styles from late Victorian Queen Anne houses to Colonial, Dutch Colonial, Spanish Colonial, Tudor Revival, Prairie School, and Craftsman residences - ranging in size from modest cottages and bungalows to more stately homes. 205 Elm Street is one of these vintage bungalows and is designated as a 'Contributing Structure' in the National Register!

Mature trees shade and cool this inviting home that features a welcoming, freshly painted rocking-chair front porch (approximately 16' x 10').

From here, step inside this 4-bedroom home to a spacious living room, where the hardwood floors have been newly refinished, and the circa 1923 fireplace (N.F.) hosts its beautiful original mantelpiece.

Through a large cased pass-through, you enter the dining room, where more newly finished hardwood floors gleam and handsome crown molding surrounds the ceiling.

The kitchen features new linoleum flooring, new countertops, and new appliances. Pretty white cupboards abound! Off the kitchen, you'll find the laundry room, with its pretty wainscoting. This room may have originally been a sweet little side porch that is now enclosed.

The flexible floor plan offers up to four bedrooms or the option to dedicate one room as a home office, hobby space, or guest room. Two of the bedrooms offer brand-new carpet! The Primary Bedroom features original warm knotty pine walls, more beautiful wood floors, and French doors that lead to a rear deck (approximately 15' x 8') that overlooks the deep, semi-private backyard. One of the home's two half-baths adjoins this bedroom.

Energy-efficient (newer vinyl) windows that sport their original Arts & Crafts interior trim offer comfort and value.

205 Elm Street updates include fresh interior paint throughout, new appliances, new countertops, newly refinished hardwood floors, and new linoleum floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. The foundation has been freshly painted. With its large 1,097-square-foot basement, accessible from both the interior and exterior, with abundant storage, workshop potential, or future possibilities, this well-maintained, low-maintenance home is ready for its next owners.

The Fulton Heights Neighborhood is supported by a strong neighborhood association that plans fun neighborhood events (such as the areas arguably most popular Halloween Trick-or-Treat event and a Winter Holiday House Tour), and keeps lines of communication open for its residents and neighbors. This sweet bungalow home within this community is conveniently located near downtown Salisbury shopping, restaurants, breweries, theaters, and the city's beautiful Bell Tower Green Park. Interstate 85 is just a stone's throw from 205 Elm Street, providing you with easy access to everything the area has to offer.

One of America's favorites, with a twist! Welcome to 130 Wiley Avenue in the desirable Fulton Heights neighborhood and National Historic District of Salisbury, North Carolina!

Let's talk about the architecture of this unique 3-bedroom, circa 1923 home! The Airplane Bungalow is a subset of the popular Prairie-style Arts & Crafts homes of the early 1900s, identified by unique low-pitched hipped-roof forms and multiple projecting gables. Thought to be one of only three of this style of architecture in Salisbury, this home is listed as the J.C. Ketchie House in the National Register of Historic Places.

This impressive 2,822 square-foot home is set on an oversized corner lot in the Fulton Heights historic district. A prominent chimney features ornately decorated brickwork, a design repeated in the veranda's balustrade. The exterior has undergone a recent full new painting.

A large portico with a vaulted beadboard ceiling leads to the statement, wrap-around veranda with its giant brick-and-granite balustrade. The immense granite balustrade caps are 3.5' square!

Massive pyramidal columns frame the oversized front door and twin front picture windows. The veranda is easily the most notable feature of the house, with exposed rafters and brackets, providing extended outdoor living and entertaining space.

Enter the front door to an open and airy formal living room that features French doors and built-in glass-front bookcases that flank the original 1920s brick fireplace. The two front rooms feature chair rail and paneled wainscoting, and the large picture windows that stream natural daylight.

The handsome dining room features the home's original bracketed plate rail. The dining room leads to a very spacious eat-in kitchen that has been recently remodeled. Gorgeous refinished hardwood floors lead you throughout the living room, front den, dining room, and hall to the desirable first-floor owners' suite at the rear of the home. This main floor bedroom has dual closets and a walk-in shower.

A handsome staircase with original box newel post and ornate wood balusters leads to an upper small center hall, two bedrooms, and a half bath.

The partially finished basement is an enormous and highly functional space! Here you'll find 4-5 separate rooms, including workrooms, storage, laundry, a half-bath, and a sprawling carpeted entertainment room. At one point, previous owners used this large room as a movie-viewing theatre!

Located approximately one mile south of the city of Salisbury's central business district, the Fulton Heights residential neighborhood is a pleasant grid of early 1900s homes, bordered by the historic Chestnut Hill Cemetery to the east and the prestigious West Square Historic District to the south. The physical character of the neighborhood is formed by a grid of early twentieth-century houses oriented toward the main avenues with a network of alleyways, an original feature of the neighborhood development that remains today, servicing the rear of many of the houses, giving access to numerous period garages. In the early 1900s, the City's electric streetcar or trolley line ran from the Fulton Heights neighborhood to what is now the North Carolina Transportation Museum, transporting workers via public transit to their work at what was once the Spencer Shops railroad car repair site. The streetcar line was the catalyst that led to the development of the Fulton Heights neighborhood: Salisbury's first subdivision! Rumor has it that the tracks still exist beneath the pavement, and remnants of tracks can be seen emerging through the pavement layers on Caldwell Street to the south. Sidewalks line many of the streets, and an active neighborhood association not only hosts seasonal events (Salisbury's most POPULAR Trick-or-Treating neighborhood), but was also instrumental in installing a pleasant neighborhood park!

2026-03-19T15:37:00.000-04:00

Update May 13, 2026: Fresh new price to reflect today's market: $549,000

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The McCanless-Busby-Thompson House, circa 1922, stands at the gateway to the desirable West Square Historic District, just blocks from vibrant downtown Salisbury. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this stunning all-brick 3,545 square-foot residence, on a 1/2 acre lot, blends Arts & Crafts, Mission, Mediterranean Revival, and Colonial Revival architectural influences, highlighted by elaborate decorative brickwork, ceramic tile roof, and a voluminous showcase - open-air, wrap-around, quarry-tiled veranda. This stately home is one of the West Square's jewels!

Welcome to 128 W. Thomas Street in Salisbury, North Carolina!

Approaching this expansive, 2-story house from the front walkway, the striking brick pattern along the front facade will surely catch your eye.

But upon your arrival at the top of the entry stairs ~ the vast front veranda with its terracotta quarry-tile flooring will stop you in your tracks.

A welcoming and elegant outdoor entertaining space, large, open, uncovered verandas such as this were a defining feature of 1920s architecture, particularly in Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles, which were designed to promote indoor-outdoor living. These spaces often served as extensions of the living area. The veranda sweeps and ells around the house to the left, where it becomes a more secluded covered porch.

A unique Arts & Crafts entry vestibule welcomes you beneath large rafter tails under a Palladian eyebrow-arched roofline, through a beveled-glass, arched door flanked by eight-paned beveled sidelights. A curved drive through a covered porte-cochere echoes a bygone era of elegance. Earth-toned brick, green trim, and the original green ceramic tile roof create a tranquil, period-correct exterior.

Inside, the foyer opens to a jaw-dropping, elegant entertaining parlor with soaring coffered ceilings, gleaming oak herringbone parquet floors, 8-over-1 windows, and high wainscoting. The grand, curved staircase, modeled after the Hambley-Wallace Mansion on nearby Fulton Street, is a sweeping focal point. As you take the stairs upward, be sure to turn around at the upper landing for the bird-eye view of the sweeping parlor and its massive original fireplace, featuring original Rookwood tile surround and the impressively deep mantelpiece. Even the staircase landings have the herringbone-patterned wood flooring. You'll note beautiful period-correct light fixtures here and throughout the home.

Two pairs of beveled glass French doors flank the formal parlor, leading to a handsome sunroom on the right and to an informal parlor, often referred to as the 'gentlemen's parlor' in days of yore, or den to the left.

The sunroom features TEN 6-over-6 windows and neutral-colored tile flooring.

The smaller parlor offers handsome oak flooring, more 8-over-1 windows, and handsome architectural wainscoting. Another grand fireplace is here, with fluted columns at the mantel and surround.

A bygone touch (often seen in grand vintage homes like the Biltmore in Asheville) is the center-floor outlet ~ so that you can plug in lamps near your fireplace seating without trailing cords across the floor to the wall outlets! This room accesses the covered portion of the wrap-around veranda and the porte-cochere via another set of handsome multi-paned French Doors.

Pocket doors in the parlor lead to a bright and spacious formal dining room with high architectural wainscoting topped with a plate rail. Natural light streams through large, 10-over-1 windows. More period-correct light fixtures finish this beautiful room. A large cased passageway opens graciously into the gleaming NEW kitchen.

The kitchen features solid-surface countertops, a gorgeous hammered copper sink, and a pot filler over the gas stove, along with ample pantry and storage space. A center island provides more workspace and a pleasant seating area or breakfast bar. The upper glass-front cabinets above the stove are lit from within.

Off the kitchen to the rear is a cozy breakfast nook or garden room that leads downward to a backyard doorway, and further downward to the basement. Exposed brick walls along the back entry and basement staircase add a handsome rustic touch.

Off the kitchen, towards the interior, is a small hall bedecked with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Here, the first-floor full bathroom is tucked privately away. Three full bathrooms, one on the main floor and two more upstairs, showcase new subway tile, gorgeous basket-weave tile flooring, and sparkling walk-in showers. One bath has a tub.

As you climb the sweeping staircase, you reach a large mezzanine landing that overlooks the front parlor. Even this space includes deep architectural moldings and trim.

From there, the staircase turns to arrive at a large upper hall from which the home's four large bedrooms and the laundry room are accessed. One of the front bedrooms, used by the current owner as an office, includes the home's 3 fireplaces. The upstairs baths are arranged as Jack-and-Jill pass-throughs between the bedrooms. Each bathroom features beautiful custom tile floors, including a basket-weave in one, hexagonal tiles with a creative inlaid border in another. The bathrooms offer a beautifully tiled walk-in shower in one, and a traditional bathtub in the other.

The McCanless-Busby-Thompson House lay vacant for a period of time, damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Colloquially known as the 'Hidden House'.

In 2017, Realtor Greg Rapp worked with a potential buyer to save the house from demolition. The home underwent a permitted restoration and renovation from 2017–2022, including a new electrical system, new plumbing, new HVAC systems, and carefully sourced period light fixtures. The new bathrooms and kitchen were added during this phase.

Additional features include a full unfinished basement, the original green ceramic tile roof, repaired where needed with extra tiles stored on site, and a garden shed in the rear yard.

The professionally landscaped yard is planted with zoysia grass - a warm-weather turf that turns golden during its winter dormancy and starts to green up again in mid-April for the hot summer months. (The photos showing green turf lawn have been digitally enhanced to show their appearance from April to November.)

128 W. Thomas Street is located at the gateway to one of Salisbury's more prominent historic districts, just blocks from the vibrant city center and downtown amenities. Salisbury, North Carolina is located equidistant, approximately an hour drive, between the metro areas of Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro, with a 2-hour drive to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Asheville area, and a 4-hour drive to Atlantic Ocean beaches. The McCanless-Busby-Thompson House is located in the West Square Historic District and, therefore, is under the purview of the City of Salisbury Historic Preservation Commission for exterior changes. 128 W. Thomas Street also has a Historic Salisbury Foundation Deeded Preservation Agreement in place to preserve this historic home for future generations.

Are you ready to be the next steward of this fantastic circa 1922 home? Call Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate for your private showing, then pack your bags . . . because The McCanless-Busby-Thompson House is calling you home!

A Serene, Private 27-Acre Historic Estate - FOR SALE - The John Randall House

2025-10-17T13:27:00.015-04:00

Nestled in the quiet southeastern corner of Stanly County - Norwood, North Carolina, is bounded by Lake Tillery and the fork of the Pee Dee and Rocky Rivers, with nearly one hundred miles of scenic Lake Tillery shoreline. Here is where you will find the rare opportunity to own a historic 27-acre private estate ~ FOR SALE! Salisbury Real Estate LLC is thrilled to present the circa 1830 Randall (Randle) House, a rare exquisitely preserved example of an early American colonial plantation home dating back to the early 1800s — and before.

Welcome to 16801 Randall's Ferry Road in Norwood, North Carolina!

The 2,775 square foot landmark John Randall House, situated near the banks of Lake Tillery, boasts 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 27 acres of open fields, rolling terrain, mature trees, a tranquil pond, and several outbuildings, making it a unique homestead that offers unmatched privacy, peace, and potential. Let Realtor Greg Rapp take you for a stroll across the property, breathe in the fresh lake air, and imagine the possibilities that await you in this private, serene setting.

On a country road, approximately four miles northeast of Norwood, NC, the John Randall House sits on 27 acres amid shade trees, rolling lawns, and cultivated fields, an environment largely unchanged since the Randalls acquired the property in 1778. Lake Tillery on the Pee Dee River and some of its coves can be glimpsed across meadows from three sides of the house.

The main house is the centerpiece of the property. From the house, the acreage radiates out to include a vintage cottage, a large barn/garage, a milk house and silo, and a pond. Each of these tells the story of this property through its 247-year history, with sweeping views that make it a picturesque canvas for your dream retreat or private estate.

THE HOUSE

Steeped in history, the original Randall House dates to the American Revolutionary War and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. An early plantation home that once claimed 900 acres of property, this three-bedroom, three-bath, five-fireplace home is rich in period character, showcasing authentic craftsmanship, original woodwork, historic flooring, and intricate window sidelights and transoms throughout.

Many of the home’s standout features remain true to the original construction, including the fireplaces, millwork, and architectural detailing—authentic elements. Those that have been replicated during renovations were done so in a manner that preserves the property’s historic integrity.

The Randall House is a stately frame house with restrained detailing in the Federal/Greek Revival style. Facing north, it is a gable-roofed, weatherboarded I-house, fronted by a hipped-roof porch. Sometime after the main block was built, in the early 1800s, a gable-roofed ell was added to the east end of the south side. Later, the two-room side kitchen/great room building was joined to the south end of the ell.

A beautiful, covered porch wraps around the kitchen's south and west sides, overlooking an expanse of handsome brick patio and rolling fields. A second-story sleeping porch, later enclosed to create the master suite, extends from the west side of the ell, and a later first-floor bathroom addition was screened by a handsome brick courtyard. Two large, single-shouldered brick chimneys flank the gable ends of the main block, and another impressive stone chimney stands at the kitchen's gable end.

THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANY MORE!

The two-story single-pile main block at 16801 Randall's Ferry Road rests on four 12"-square, hand-hewn timbers, the corners mortised and tenoned and secured with wooden pins. These are supported on piers of handmade bricks. Tree trunks at 30"-centers extend the full width of the frame as joists. A brick hearth box built under a first-level fireplace remains. Joists above the second story are hand-hewn beams 4.5" x 8" x 20'. Roof rafters are logs 5" in diameter.

The brick foundation enclosure was built when the house was restored in 1970. A small, glassed-in cut-away in the weatherboarding on the rear elevation exhibits a section of the heavy timber frame construction. WOW!

Entering the Randall House through one of the back doors, you first go through a small breezeway or mudroom, off of which the laundry room is located, and then . . . enter the impressive Kitchen and Great Room, part of the home's 1970s renovation. This expanded great room is easily the most stunning up-to-date feature for modern living in such a vintage home!

Here, a vaulted, beamed ceiling soars above the kitchen with granite counters and loads of storage space in an array of naturally stained cupboards. Talk about WOW-factor!

The kitchen was updated about 10 years ago when the custom cabinetry and granite countertops were installed. This marvelous open space flows from the chef's kitchen ~ first to a dining area and then into the spacious Great Room, with its locally quarried stone floor acting to unify the sitting area.

The Great Room's massive wood-burning stone fireplace is the most incredible, jaw-dropping feature here, with a broad chimney extending up into the vaulted ceiling, and a deep, elevated stone hearth that spans the width of the room, creating extra window seating.

Tucked behind the kitchen, before you enter the dining room, is a wonderful small butler's pantry with vertical storage for serving platters and scads of storage shelving.

The sunny, formal dining room features a hand-painted, panoramic mural - an all-encompassing view of the Randall Plantation as it may have looked in the 1790s-1820's- that encircles the room and depicts the history of the house, many of the people pertinent to the property and the surrounding area, including the church that John Randle founded.

This artwork is a protected feature of the house.

From the dining room, enter into a cozy library or former front parlor, color-drenched in a deep hunter green. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves flank beautiful 9-over-9 windows and one of the home's five fireplaces. Original, warm-weathered wood floors make this room feel like a warm hug.

Leaving the library, you are at the front door that leads to the veranda, and at the center hall.

The front door is notably surrounded by handsome original sidelights and a transom light. The hall's architectural features include interesting paneled corner blocks and flat-panel wainscoting with chair rail.

This front portion of the center hall is framed with another doorway leading to a rear hall that was formerly a porch.

The doorway here echoes the fine sidelights and transoms.

A beautiful, light-filled formal living room to the right of the hallway is a statement of gracious living, featuring another original fireplace and a flush-board ceiling.

This front parlor overlooks the acreage and huge shade trees that extend several acres to the west.

In the hallway, an enclosed stairway with flush-board walls turns and rises from a transomed opening beside the rear hall doorway, and takes you to the second story, where you'll find a center passage between the two upper rooms of the main and the rear primary suite.

Each of the two front bedrooms, original to the early days of the house, features the last of the home's five fireplaces with brick hearths, simple mantels, and surrounds.

The left front bedroom features built-in bunk beds and floor-to-ceiling shelves, cupboards, chair rail, and a cute desk.

The huge Owners' Suite, hushed with wall-to-wall carpet in the prettiest shade of indigo blue, is graced with a stunning array of recessed windows that spans nearly the entire wall, giving breathtaking views of the acreage, historic oaks, beautiful skies, and the sparkling lake. The window inset includes built-in bookshelves at one end; the deep ledge may offer window seating here. A private bath here, accessed via a hallway lined on both sides with closets, features a walk-in shower.

This room was formerly a sleeping porch and was converted into this beautiful bedroom suite in the 1970s. From the rear exterior, you can see where the original porch was once located.

Back downstairs, the rear part of the center hall is part of the 1970s renovation, with locally quarried stone flooring and rough-cut board-and-batten walls. A spacious full bath is off this hallway. (This bath connects to the front parlor, offering the potential to create a 1st-floor primary bedroom suite.)

The rear hallway exits to a pristine brick patio at the back of the house, overlooking the peaceful grounds with massive old-growth trees will be your favorite place for relaxing or entertaining. Part of the patio is recessed into a brick arch, creating a perfect little storage area for your barbecue grill and accessories.

An incredibly massive (and we mean MASSIVE!!) water oak tree near the patio casts welcome, cooling shade from its skyscraping canopy. The large old trees around the property are breathtaking.

Further below the house, the grounds feature a tranquil pond, creating a private oasis in the heart of the acreage.

A portion of the acreage is currently leased, with a gentleman's agreement, to a local farmer who raises soybeans and other crops, keeping the fields mowed and maintained. The new owner may wish to renegotiate this agreement.

OTHER STRUCTURES

Yes . . . there's more! A circular driveway swings you around the house to a 4-bay, 40x50 metal-sheathed pole barn that does double duty as a garage with lots of extra space for lawn equipment, workshop, storage, and more. This building has a 200 amp service.

A bit further to the west, you'll find the old milk house and 'milking parlor', a large functional outbuilding on the property, dating back to when the dairy operation was active here in the 1950s. This building is equipped with 220V electrical service.

The milk house is now a private billiards room, with a pool table, kitchenette, and a small bathroom.

The actual 'milking parlor' (part of the building where cows were brought to be milked and then returned to their feeding or resting area) is built with an interesting, elevated concrete area where the cows once stood for milking. This is known as a herringbone parlor - a common design used on dairy farms with smaller herds. This space offers creative opportunities for storage or potential for a studio or workshop - let your imagination run wild!

A vintage circa 1800s guest cottage is on the property ~ an excellent income-producing dwelling for either a rental or Airbnb! The cottage is in a wooded area approximately 600 feet from the house and has its own 911 address, despite being on the Randall parcel.

The original first section of the cottage consists of one large room with a fireplace and a shed or lean-to on the east elevation. Sometime after the Civil War, the shed was enlarged and enclosed, and a kitchen/dining room with a wraparound porch was appended to its south wall.

The original structure utilizes heavy timber framing and is clad with weatherboards. One of its more charming exterior features is the rebuilt slate chimney. The interior of the main block is clad with flush-board walls and ceiling, and offers painted random-width flooring. The small fireplace is faced with handmade bricks, and a simple shelf serves as a mantelpiece. The cottage offers 2-3 bedrooms (you must walk through the second bedroom to access the third bedroom) and one bath. While there is an above-ground oil tank near the deck, the cottage does not currently have working heat or air conditioning.

Ruins of two other cottages, including stone chimneys, remain here in this wooded location. New owners may wish to reconstruct the sister cottages. These structures offer a tangible link to the history the Randall Plantation.

HISTORY

From its agricultural beginnings, the Randall Plantation evolved to a dairy operation in the late 19th century, and then a plant nursery by the mid-20th century. Carolina Power and Light owned the property from 1925 through 1928. The power company created Lake Tillery by constructing the Tillery Dam on the Pee Dee River, creating a reservoir for hydroelectric power generation. Many local buildings of that era, including a mill (depicted in the dining room mural), were lost when they were submerged. A large nursery and greenhouse operation covered a substantial portion of the west side of the property in the early to mid-2000s.

The exact construction history of the Randall House is unclear. Certain features, particularly the flat-panel wainscoting in the first-floor center passage and the enclosed staircase, are characteristic of late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century houses and suggest a building date during the 1820s. The proportions, windows, and overall exterior and interior finish strongly indicate construction or a complete overbuilding in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, after John Randle died in 1824.

And speaking of . . . John Randle's grave is on the property, marked with a marble headstone, a detailed epitaph, and a small footstone. In the panoramic mural in the dining room, where John Randle is depicted riding horseback, is the approximate location of the headstone. We find it interesting that the National Register states that the 'period of significance' for this house is 1835 - eleven years beyond its namesake's passing!

TODAY

The home has a new roof, installed within the last year, and the exterior was freshly repainted at that time. New exterior shutters and hardware were installed, along with new rear porch pickets. New gutters and leaf guards were also installed when the roof was replaced. The HVAC system is routinely serviced (as recently as July 2025 with a fan motor and fan blade replacement). The home is heated with a propane furnace (the propane tank, located underground near the AC units, is owned), and a large tankless water heater adds to the modern conveniences. The kitchen's wood-burning fireplace is functioning; however, the remaining fireplaces have not seen much use since the 1970 rebuild. New owners should have all fireplaces and chimneys inspected before use.

The roof on the cottage was replaced in 2020. The cottage lacks a functioning HVAC system, and an above-ground oil tank is located next to the deck. There are several water wells on the property. The main house and cabin share a well.

Gorgeous 1923 Brick Home - Revived and Spectacular - FOR SALE

2025-10-10T15:53:00.000-04:00

Visitors to the Historic West Square Neighborhood in Salisbury, North Carolina, are often enchanted by the sense of stepping back in time. Walking through West Square feels immersive—every corner reveals a story, whether it’s a Civil War-era mansion or a Craftsman bungalow with a deep front porch. History buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and casual travelers alike find the neighborhood inspiring, romantic, and quietly vibrant. And now, Salisbury Real Estate LLC presents an opportunity FOR YOU to own one of these storied mansions.

Welcome to 414 South Fulton Street in the West Square Historic District, listed FOR SALE with Greg Rapp of Salisbury Real Estate LLC. This is the first time this impressive brick home has been on the open market in over 40 years! This stunning, completely revived, circa-1923 brick home sits in the very heart of Salisbury’s West Square Historic District, a desirable neighborhood known for its historic charm. This area is one of Salisbury’s oldest and most architecturally rich neighborhoods, with homes dating from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, showcasing a wide range of period styles such as Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman.

Sidewalks and shade trees welcome you to 414 S. Fulton Street's deep - over 32-foot-wide - veranda with its ornate balustrade and handsome double columns. Here you'll enjoy a generous outdoor living space that beautifully complements the decorative two-tone brick façade.

The front façade of this 2 1/2 story home is notably decorated with historic clinker brick masonry in a diamond pattern across the expanse. Clinker bricks are produced when wet clay bricks are exposed to excessive heat during the firing process, sintering the surface of the brick and forming a shiny, dark-colored coating. Clinker bricks have a blackened appearance, and a fun fact - clinkers are so named for the metallic sound they make when struck together. Clinker bricks are denser, heavier, and more irregular than standard bricks, and are water-resistant and durable.

Through the elegant front door with beveled glass windows and sidelights, you enter the massive front parlor, one of two. The room features original stain-grade woodwork, newly refinished oak floors, and a fireplace framed by original built-ins. Two pairs of French doors accentuate the space and provide privacy from the rest of the home. Through a wide opening flanked by handsome wood columns is a second parlor. Through the second parlor, you enter the formal dining room that also carries on the beautiful original woodwork throughout.

A newly designed and installed dream kitchen brings another WOW-factor. This bright and functional space offers NEW solid-surface countertops, NEW high-end appliances, and a NEW stylish tile backsplash. A pot-filler plumbed above the stove is super-convenient and a luxury modern touch.

The adjoining coffee bar/breakfast room overlooking the back yard offers the cutest sitting area, lots more storage, and a beverage refrigerator.

Just off the kitchen is a freshly minted laundry/mud room that leads to the back yard with a newly installed concrete walkway and freshly seeded lawn.

A main-level bedroom to the rear of the home has dual closets and offers flexibility as a guest room or office.

A truly beautiful hall sits beyond the front parlor's French doors and the main-level bedroom, leading to the magnificent staircase. Almost a small room itself, the refinished wood here glows!

A NEW full bath with shower off this hallway shines with gorgeous tile in complementary patterns.

From the hall, you can choose to go through a doorway to a small landing with a doorway that leads to the side of the house, or down another small flight to the partial basement and crawl space. OR . . .

Let's head upstairs! The staircase remarkably still has its original newel post, and the balustrades are rock solid. The staircase turns at a beautiful window-lit landing and heads up and around to the generous second-story hall.

Upstairs, more gleaming floors light the way to the additional 4 (or 5!) bedrooms. The big WOW-factor up here is the spacious primary suite ~ a graciously sized bedroom WITH an adjoining sitting room that charms with its original fireplace with completely intact vintage tile surround and two walk-in closets, making it equally suited as a private lounge, office, or nursery/playroom. This wonderful 3,188 square-foot home could be a 6-bedroom house by utilizing this upstairs sitting room as a bedroom, making it a potential additional #6 bedroom. Back in the upper hall, a pull-down staircase provides access to a small attic.

Another NEW bathroom off the upper hall sparkles with more beautiful tile work and modern finishes.

A back bedroom streams wonderful natural light with an array of windows on two sides, leading us to believe that this was perhaps originally a sleeping porch, consistent with residential architecture of the era.

414 S. Fulton Street provides off street parking via a common alley from the side street that leads to your private driveway behind the home with its two-car detached carport that also provides utility and garden shed storage. Here, the perfectly sized back yard - not too big and not to small - is shaded by a towering silver maple tree, and offers greenspace for al fresco dining, entertaining, gardening, play, and more.

This fabulous circa 1923 home has undergone a fully permitted, comprehensive renovation, including a total house rewire, all new plumbing, and two new HVAC systems. All the light fixtures are new. The slate roof was recently inspected and repaired as needed by KW Arthur Roofing of Salisbury, and new chimney caps have been installed. Freshly blown insulation increases the home's sustainable energy usage. FUN NOTE: The home's original blueprint was found during the renovation and now hangs over the main fireplace.

414 S. Fulton Street is mere blocks from the City of Salisbury downtown, vibrant with unique shops, a variety of locally-owned restaurants, community theatre, public library, and the $13M Bell Tower Green Park. A landmark Amtrak station is right downtown, or jump on the highway to head to Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and points beyond. Salisbury is a 2-hour drive to the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains or a 4-5 hour drive to North Carolina's dazzling Atlantic Ocean beaches.

Salisbury is the oldest continually populated colonial town in the western region of North Carolina, noted for its historic preservation. The West Square Neighborhood is like a living museum, a testimony to this, with beautifully preserved or meticulously restored homes. Mature oaks and maples form shady canopies over the sidewalks, enhancing the timeless, peaceful atmosphere and making it ideal for simply strolling the quiet, brick-lined sidewalks. Visitors and residents alike are drawn to the ornate woodwork, wide porches, turreted towers, and stained-glass windows that tell the story of a bygone era. The neighborhood is supported by an active neighborhood association that fosters listening, proactive engagement, and a sense of community while hosting fun events and get-togethers.

Residents take pride in maintaining the neighborhood’s historic integrity, and many of the homes have plaques detailing their history. Several of the city's Landmark Properties are located here. The West Square is part of Salisbury’s commitment to preservation. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the City of Salisbury's 5 local historic districts. The City's Historic Preservation Commission retains oversight on any exterior changes through a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process.

Now . . . it's time for YOU to come see this fabulous renovation for yourself, and make it your forever home. We suspect it will be another 40 years before this hits the open market again, because this home is that amazing.

An Early American Colonial Plantation - Homestead & 27 Acres - Can Be Yours!

2025-07-30T18:13:00.012-04:00

Editor's Note: The Randall House - 16801 Randall's Ferry Road, Norwood NC - is now listed at $825,000.

Salisbury Real Estate LLC is thrilled to present the circa 1830 Randall (Randle) House, a rare preserved example of early American colonial plantation history and an exquisitely preserved historic estate dating back to the early 1800s — and before. Welcome to 16801 Randall's Ferry Road in Norwood, North Carolina!

The landmark Randall House, situated near the banks of Lake Tillery, boasts 27 acres of open fields, rolling terrain, mature trees, a tranquil pond, and several outbuildings, making it a unique homestead that offers unmatched privacy, peace, and potential. Call Realtor Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 to walk the property, breathe in the fresh lake air, and imagine the possibilities that await. History lovers, this one is for you - an early American Colonial-era plantation homestead offering a private setting, serenity, and a place to create something truly special!

Whispers of the past speak to us through the few plantation homesteads that survive the exciting and tumultuous birthing of America. On a country road, approximately four miles northeast of Norwood, NC, the John Randall House sits on 27 acres amid trees, lawns, and cultivated fields, an environment largely unchanged since the Randalls acquired the property in 1778. Lake Tillery on the Pee Dee River and some of its coves can be glimpsed across meadows from three sides of the house. The main house is the centerpiece of the property. From the house, the acreage radiates out to include a vintage cottage, a large barn/garage, a milk house and silo, and a pond. Each of these tells the story of this property through its 247-year history, with sweeping views that make it a picturesque canvas for your dream retreat or private estate.

THE HOUSE

Steeped in history, the original Randall House dates to the American Revolutionary War and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. An early plantation home that once claimed 900 acres of property, this three-bedroom, three-bath, five-fireplace home is rich in period character, showcasing authentic craftsmanship, original woodwork, historic flooring, and intricate window sidelights and transoms throughout. Many of the home’s standout features remain true to the original construction, including the fireplaces, millwork, and architectural detailing—authentic elements. Those that have been replicated during renovations were done so in a manner that preserves the property’s historic integrity.

The Randall House is a stately frame house with restrained detailing in the Federal/Greek Revival style. We believe that an original late 18th-century house stood here and was subsequently built over in the early 1800s. Facing north, it is a gable-roofed, weatherboarded I-house, fronted by a hipped-roof porch. Sometime after the main block was built, also in the early 1800s, a gable-roofed ell was added to the east end of the south side. Later, the two-room side kitchen/great room building was joined to the south end of the ell. A beautiful, covered porch wraps around the kitchen's south and west sides, overlooking an expanse of handsome brick patio and rolling fields. A second-story sleeping porch, later enclosed to create the master suite, extends from the west side of the ell, and a later first-floor bathroom addition was screened by a handsome brick courtyard. Two large, single-shouldered brick chimneys flank the gable ends of the main block, and another impressive stone chimney stands at the kitchen's gable end.

They don't make houses like this anymore! The two-story single-pile main block rests on four 12"-square, hand-hewn timbers, the corners mortised and tenoned and secured with wooden pins. These are supported on piers of handmade bricks. Tree trunks at 30"-centers extend the full width of the frame as joists. A brick hearth box built under a first-level fireplace remains. Joists above the second story are hand-hewn beams 4.5" x 8" x 20'. Roof rafters are logs 5" in diameter. The brick foundation enclosure was built when the house was restored in 1970. A small, glassed-in cut-away in the weatherboarding on the rear elevation exhibits a section of the heavy timber frame construction. WOW!

Entering the Randall House through one of the back doors, you first go through a small breezeway or mudroom, off of which the laundry room is located, and then . . . enter the impressive Kitchen and Great Room, part of the home's 1970s renovation. This expanded great room easily brings the most wow-factor for modern living.

Here, a vaulted, beamed ceiling soars above the kitchen with granite counters and loads of storage space in an array of naturally stained cupboards. The kitchen was updated about 10 years ago when the custom cabinetry and granite countertops were installed. This marvelous open space flows from the chef's kitchen ~ first to a dining area and then into the spacious Great Room with a locally quarried stone floor unifying the sitting area. The Great Room's massive wood-burning stone fireplace is the most incredible feature, with a broad chimney extending up into the vaulted ceiling, and a deep, elevated stone hearth that spans the width of the room, creating extra window seating.

Beyond the great room, a multi-purpose wet bar/pantry room offers entertainment convenience, with a small sink, wine racks, cupboards for glassware, and space for a wine fridge. A pass-through window to the Great Room lets the host and hostess commune with their guests from this functional mini-kitchen. Fun fact: The National Register description leads one to believe that the kitchen was likely once a separate structure, as with many homes of this era, and was later joined to the house.

Tucked behind the kitchen, before you enter the dining room, is a wonderful small butler's pantry with vertical storage for serving platters and scads of storage shelving.

The sunny, formal dining room features a hand-painted, panoramic mural - an all-encompassing view of the Randall Plantation as it may have looked in the 1790s-1820's- that encircles the room and depicts the history of the house, many of the people pertinent to the property (including Bishop Francis Asbury), and the surrounding area, including the church that John Randle founded.

This artwork is a protected feature of the house.

From the dining room, enter into a cozy library or former front parlor, color-drenched in a deep hunter green. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves flank beautiful 9-over-9 windows and one of the home's five fireplaces. Original weathered wood floors make this room feel like a warm hug.

Leaving the library, you are at the front door that leads to the veranda, and at the center hall. The front door is notably surrounded by handsome original sidelights and a transom light. The hall's architectural features include interesting paneled corner blocks and flat-panel wainscoting with chair rail.

This front portion of the center hall is framed with another doorway leading to a rear hall that was formerly a porch. The doorway here echoes the fine sidelights and transoms.

A beautiful, light-filled formal living room to the right of the hallway is a statement of gracious living, featuring another original fireplace and a flush-board ceiling. This front parlor overlooks the acreage and huge shade trees that extend several acres to the west.

Each of the two front bedrooms, original to the early days of the house, features the last of the home's five fireplaces with brick hearths, simple mantels, and surrounds. The left front bedroom features built-in bunk beds and floor-to-ceiling shelves, cupboards, chair rail, and a cute desk.

An incredibly massive water oak near the patio casts welcome shade from its skyscraping canopy. The large old trees around the property are breathtaking.

Further below the house, the grounds feature a tranquil pond, creating a private oasis in the heart of the acreage.

OTHER STRUCTURES

A circular driveway swings you around the house to a 4-bay, 40x50 metal-sheathed pole barn that does double duty as a garage with lots of extra space for lawn equipment, workshop, storage, and more. This building has a 200 amp service.

The milk house is now a private billiards room, with a pool table, kitchenette, and a small bathroom. The actual 'milking parlor' (part of the building where cows were brought to be milked and then returned to their feeding or resting area) is built with an interesting, elevated concrete area where the cows once stood for milking. This is known as a herringbone parlor, a common design used on dairy farms with smaller herds. This space offers creative opportunities for storage or potential for a studio or workshop. We can picture storing antique motorcycles in these 45-degree-angled bays, but let your imagination run wild!

At least three enslaved community dwellings were once on the property. One remains today as a guest cottage, approximately 600 feet from the house in a wooded area.

Tradition holds that the one-story frame, side-gabled dwelling east of the Randle House was built for slaves. The original first section consisted of one large room with a fireplace and a shed or lean-to on the east elevation. Sometime after the Civil War, the shed was enlarged and enclosed, and a kitchen/dining room with a wraparound porch was appended to its south wall. The original structure utilizes heavy timber framing and is clad with weatherboards. One of its more charming exterior features is the rebuilt slate chimney. The interior of the main block is clad with flush-board walls and ceiling, and offers painted random-width flooring. The small fireplace is faced with handmade bricks, and a simple shelf serves as a mantelpiece. The cottage offers 2-3 bedrooms and one bath. While there is an above-ground oil tank near the deck, the cottage does not currently have working heat or air conditioning.

The ruins of the other two cottages, including stone chimneys, remain. These cottages may help to reflect the historical realities of enslaved peoples without romanticizing or minimizing the brutality of slavery. It may be interesting to explore the diverse nature of these dwellings, including the architectural styles and the extent to which they housed multiple families or individuals, to interpret these spaces to provide a complete and authentic understanding of the experiences of enslaved people. Existing slave quarters across the United States are becoming increasingly rare. These structures offer a tangible link to the history of slavery and the lives of enslaved people.

HISTORY

From its agricultural beginnings, the Randall Plantation evolved to a dairy operation in the late 19th century, and then a plant nursery by the mid-20th century. In 1925 through 1928, Carolina Power & Light owned the property, and Lake Tillery was created by the construction of the Tillery Dam on the Pee Dee River, which impounded the river to create a reservoir for hydroelectric power generation. Many local buildings of that era, including a mill (depicted in the dining room mural), were lost due to being submerged. A large nursery and greenhouse operation covered a substantial portion of the west side of the property in the early to mid-2000s.

Of more than 850 acres known to have been acquired from 1778 to 1792 by the first John Randle (spelled "Randall" by the twentieth century), who lived here, approximately twenty-seven acres remain with the house. Approximately fourteen are included in the National Register of Historic Places nomination. Although no other outbuildings typical of plantation maintenance survive, the main house has been carefully restored. The first available land entries for John Randle are dated 1778, totaling 500 acres, incorporating the Randall House property. In subsequent years, Randle added to his holdings.

The exact construction history of the Randall House is unclear. Tradition holds that "Dumb John" Randle (John Randle's uncle) built a four-room, center passage, primary structure here. Certain features, such as the brick box beneath the west first-floor hearth, support this tradition. Other elements, particularly the flat-panel wainscoting in the first-floor center passage and the enclosed staircase, are characteristic of late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century houses and suggest a building date during the 1820s. The presence of a Georgian lock in the east upper room of the main block also supports a construction date of late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, but could have been removed from an earlier structure. The proportions, windows, and overall exterior and interior finish, however, strongly indicate construction or a complete overbuilding in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, after John Randle died in 1824.

John Randle's grave is on the property, marked with a marble headstone, a detailed epitaph, and a small footstone.

In the panoramic mural in the dining room, where John Randle is depicted riding horseback, is the approximate location of the headstone.

We find it interesting that the National Register states that the 'period of significance' for this house is 1835 - eleven years beyond its namesake's passing!

LIVING HISTORY

The Randall House is not just a home; it’s a living piece of history. We have only scraped the surface of the depth of over 200 years of history here, and volumes of records are available for the new stewards of 16801 Randalls Ferry Road. Pride of ownership and early craftsmanship are evident in every detail of this exceptional property. This property and certain architectural elements are protected in perpetuity by Covenants & Restrictions through Preservation North Carolina. This will be an important consideration for the next steward of this slice of history, as the property can NOT be subdivided and certain changes are prohibited. A real estate agent can access the Covenants & Restrictions listed with the deed and attached to the Multiple Service Listing, or contact Realtor® Greg Rapp: 704.213.6846 or GregRappRealtor@gmail.com. for a copy.

The home has a new roof, installed within the last year, and the exterior was freshly repainted at that time. New exterior shutters and hardware were installed as well as new rear porch pickets. New gutters and leaf guards were also installed when the roof was replaced. The HVAC system is routinely serviced (as recently as July 2025 with a fan motor and fan blade replacement). The home is heated with a propane furnace (the propane tank, located underground near the AC units, is owned), and a large tankless water heater adds to the modern conveniences. The kitchen wood-burning fireplace is functioning; the remaining fireplaces have not seen much use since the 1970 rebuild. New owners should have all fireplaces and chimneys inspected before use. The roof on the cabin was replaced in 2020.

The Randall House, at 16801 Randalls Ferry Road in Norwood, North Carolina, is just 46 miles from the metro area of Charlotte and just under a 3-hour drive to Wilmington and North Carolina's ocean beaches. A 3-hour drive to the west brings you to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and the artsy town of Asheville.

In 1900, an estimated 325 plantation homes were still in existence in North Carolina. Today, we estimate that there are but 200 left, fewer with existing enslaved people's dwellings . . . and this number is rapidly dwindling. This demonstrates how important preservation of the Randall House and property really is.

With its mix of a rare early colonial home, an even rarer still-existing slave dwelling, functional outbuildings, open space, rolling fields, and mature trees, the Randall House offers an increasingly rare opportunity to steward a piece of central North Carolina’s history. This homestead is perfect for those seeking privacy, serenity, and a place to create something truly special. This one-of-a-kind property gives you the flexibility to bring your own vision to life while curating a valuable historic story. Call Realtor Greg Rapp at 704.213.6846 to come walk the property, breathe in the fresh Carolina air, and imagine the possibilities that await. Don’t miss this chance to make this landmark property your own.

Let Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC show you luxury modern living with history and class in this timeless 3,364 square-foot luxury home!

Step inside 300 W. Thomas Street to discover a labor of love, where every room whispers tales of carefully curated renovations. Constructed in 1927, this 3-story home wears its history with grace while bringing its new owners all the modern conveniences.

The House

Step through the front door with beveled glass windows into an extra-spacious great room, offering a grand space for entertaining with elegance. Here, the home's original fireplace (non-functioning) boasts its original Arts & Crafts style brick surround and mantel.

Window arrays, with a unique 9-over-one pane pattern original to the house, flood the great room with natural light. Through beautiful French doors, you will find more of these wonderful light-filled windows in the spacious formal dining room.

You will immediately note the luxurious, luminous floors! These are the home's original oak floors, and while many homes of this era feature darkly stained wood flooring, here, a bleaching process achieved an uplifting, light aesthetic with a softly glowing, satin polyurethane. The effect is bright, calming, and uplifting!

The incredible chef's kitchen was top-to-bottom newly installed! This custom kitchen sparkles with a white tile backsplash, a plethora of new custom cabinetry, unique quartz countertops, and elegantly appointed with a dual-fuel stove, wine fridge, and separate beverage fridge, and beautiful farmhouse sink.

A pretty bleached pine floor continues here, but laid on the diagonal to set it apart from the living/dining rooms.

But wait, there is more . . . and MUCH more!

When an original rear abutment was removed, it was replaced with a newly constructed rear 3-story wing, a much larger addition that offers the space for the first-floor half-bath, and the main-floor owners' suite that overlooks the backyard. The suite includes a new laundry room, a huge walk-in closet, and a GORGEOUS new designer bath, elegantly appointed with Carrera marble flooring, marble wall tiles, and marble vanity. WOW!

Upstairs, you'll find three (3) more beautiful bedrooms. The rear bedroom includes a wonderful sleeping porch/sunroom that overlooks the backyard and could be utilized as a dressing room, playroom, studio, or office.

The 2nd-story full bath features its original classic 1920’s black and white tile - in perfect condition despite its 40 years of history. The new, black, 30” marble-topped vanity perfectly complements the white tile and the original DEEP cast iron bathtub.

So. . . you might think that now you have seen the entire house. But another surprise awaits! Downstairs, an astounding new basement-level expanded living area turns this house from ordinary to extraordinary! Over 970 freshly finished square feet with three fully finished basement rooms expand your heated and cooled living space!

A large yet cozy media room at the bottom of the stairs leads to an intermediate bonus room. Storage? More living area? Office? . . . you decide!

This middle room opens to a HUGE walk-out recreation room where windows on three sides stream with natural daylight.

Each of the lower-level rooms offers glistening epoxy floors. An additional unfinished room houses the home's mechanicals. This fully rebuilt and expanded rear 3-story addition features a metal roof and is supported by an array of new helical piers.

Details

The McCanless-Yost-Goodman home features the rectangular shape and hipped roof of the American Foursquare style with a central dormer.

The main roof is covered in its original terra cotta ceramic tile. The front porch with its metal roof, supported by impressive wooden piers, stretches across the facade to form a porte cochère over the circular drive.

The home itself is of all-brick construction, while the newly erected addition at the rear is brick and wood, supported below grade by new 40-foot helical piers. This 3-story addition sports a new metal roof. The home has undergone a complete rewire of the entire house, new plumbing, and new HVAC systems.

History

Over the years, the McCanless-Goodman-Yost House had fallen into disrepair...most remarkably, the original 3-story rear abutment was in imminent danger of falling off the house.

This brick home features the typical rectangular shape and hipped roof of the American Foursquare style with a central dormer so popular in this part of the district.

An 1890s Victorian Cottage in Salisbury NC ~ FOR SALE ~ Salisbury Real Estate LLC

2025-06-05T14:58:00.006-04:00

Looking for that sweet Victorian storybook cottage of your dreams? Look no further. Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC offers this terrific blend of old world charm and new world comfort in a sweet single-story circa 1890s farmhouse Victorian in the heart of Salisbury, North Carolina.

Get all the details below, but when pictures are not enough to convince you of the complete charm of this spectacular, move-in-ready Victorian cottage in the West Square Historic District, then it's time to give Realtor® Greg Rapp a call: 704.213.6846. Let Greg tell you the advantages of purchasing this historic home at 308 W. Monroe Street in Salisbury, and the rest, as they say, will be history!

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.

You'll find more Victorian architectural details in the decorative dentil molding that trims the home's bay windows.

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.

A faux fireplace (the original fireplace was likely on an adjacent wall between the living and dining rooms) is framed by two large windows in the parlor's bay feature. An outlet above the deep mantel piece is genius for mounting a television or twin lamps with minimal electrical cord anti-aesthetics!

Gleaming original wood floors take you through to the dining room, another spacious room with deep crown moldings and trim. A double array of 2-over-2 windows here streams natural daylight.

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.

Step through lacy gingerbread door brackets to a completely charming screened porch off the kitchen, a new (2021) addition, and a wonderful place for taking in bug-free fresh air and the sweet gravel patio space and gardens in the fenced-in rear yard.

While the porch addition is newer, careful attention was paid to have the architectural details mimic the Victorian character of 308 W. Monroe Street. The brackets, dentil molding, and inner beadboard are perfectly congruous with the original home aesthetic.

A mudroom just off the kitchen leads to a half bath, where the laundry room is cleverly hidden.

A small hallway leads to the home's two bedrooms, separated by a full bathroom with tongue-and-groove beadboard walls, painted a vivid azure blue! The beadboard walls here, in the kitchen, and in the two bedrooms, are a stunning statement to the home's 1897 vintage beginnings.

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!

French doors open to a space that could be opened up to act as a cabana for the tiny, gated, and enclosed garden yard. The possibilities for its creative use are wide open!

The current owner installed a gated area mid-driveway to divide the driveway into either secure parking or additional patio space in front of this delightful outbuilding.

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.

Realtor® Greg Rapp is the area's expert in historic property real estate and can find your dream 'old house'. Salisbury, North Carolina is noted for its preservation culture and a tremendous stock of historic homes . . . something for every budget!

These older homes are built with quality construction and materials that just do not exist in today's new construction. Partner with Greg Rapp and find your dream historic house! It's as easy as dialing 704.213.6846!

Another Historic Treasure - SOLD - by Greg Rapp & Salisbury Real Estate LLC

2025-05-16T16:58:00.011-04:00

What is special about an old house? Just about everything!

Old houses tell a story. They have a history. There is something about running our hands down a banister that generations of people have held in their hands for centuries, giving us a sense of place and time and a perspective on where we fit in this huge, sometimes impersonal world. You are a small but important part of a much greater story.

Welcome to the circa 1828 Jesse A. Clement House in Mocksville, North Carolina, entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Greg Rapp of Salisbury Real Estate LLC just closed on the sale of this special piece of history, protected by covenants with Preservation North Carolina.

According to local tradition, the house was built around 1828 and was the center of a large plantation. The Jesse A. Clement House, a two-story brick structure, was built for a member of a prominent western Piedmont family. The regional Federal character of the house reflects construction methods of the period in Rowan and Davie County areas. Sturdy, boxy, two-story brick houses of the early-19th century, rare in eastern North Carolina, are a key element in the architectural development of the Piedmont.

Clement was a prosperous local businessman who owned a tannery, two plantations, and a brokerage firm dealing in plug tobacco, cotton, and wheat. He was also a North Carolina House of Commons member in 1838-1839. Clement's brother, John, was a member of the North Carolina House of Commons and introduced the legislation that formed Davie County from a part of Rowan County in 1836. Clement's sons, Baxter Clegg and William, migrated to Arkansas, where William served in the state senate and as lieutenant governor, and Baxter Clegg practiced medicine. During the Civil War, Jesse Clement, the home's namesake, at 53 years old, commanded a regiment known as the "Davie Greys". He died at 68 in 1876.

A history book contains pictures and stories of what life was like in years gone by, but those stories are locked within the boundaries of the binding. A museum displays artifacts from these times, but they are roped off and safely behind glass. But, walking into a historic house is like stepping back in time and being wrapped up in the pages of that history book- being a part of the history. We are tactile beings, and the ability to touch and interact with pieces of history is the most profound way to connect to the time and place they came from.

An avenue of trees once led to the early 19th-century home of Jesse A. Clement in Mocksville, North Carolina. The approach road to the two-story brick house no longer falls between these rows of trees, yet both the house and the trees still stand as reminders of the social, economic, and political contributions of the Clement family to Davie County.

So . . . what makes an old house special?

1. Historical Charm and Character:

• Unique Architectural Features: Old houses often have architectural styles and details that are not commonly seen in modern construction, like intricate woodwork, crown moldings, and ornate fireplaces.

• Craftsmanship: Older homes often showcase meticulous craftsmanship, with details and finishes that are often lacking in modern homes.

• Sense of History: These homes can connect you to the past, providing a glimpse into how people lived in previous eras.

2. Solid Construction:

• Quality Materials: Older homes are often built with durable materials like old-growth lumber, plaster walls, and sturdy foundations, making them potentially more resilient than newer homes.

• Strong Structure: The construction methods of older homes, like hand-nailed framing and solid walls, can provide a more structurally sound and stable home.

3. Unique Features and Details:

• Built-in Storage: Old houses often have features like built-in closets, pantries, or cellars that provide extra storage space.

• Specialized Features: Some older homes may have features like coal chutes, dumbwaiters, or other elements that reflect the lifestyles of the past.

• Natural Cooling: Homes built before air conditioning was common often have features that promote natural cooling, like thicker walls and layouts that allow for cross-breezes.

When it comes to selling and finding the right buyer for vintage and historic houses, Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC is the agent to contact. With an in-depth knowledge of old structures and the intricacies of the inspections and transaction details combined with a passion for preservation, Greg offers a level of confidence a historic home sale demands that few agents can meet.

Got Vision? This Restoration Project is Waiting! Circa 1925 House at Library Park, Spencer NC FOR SALE

2025-05-02T23:10:00.009-04:00

In 1925 (a mere 100 years ago), this two-story home at 306 Carolina Avenue was likely the crowning glory of the block. Today, the house needs a buyer with a restoration ethic, the vision, and fortitude to return it to its former glory.

Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC has listed this historic Victorian Vernacular house in Spencer, North Carolina for sale. You've seen us talk 'old-houses' before. . . but this one is in the BEST location ~ overlooking the scenic park in the heart of the Town of Spencer's Historic District.

This house's history is vague, but some things we know. The National Register of Historic Places states that the home shows on the Sanborn maps in 1913 (the town of Spencer was founded in 1897). AND . . . because Greg is an old-house enthusiast ~ and owns a very similar circa 1882 Victorian house in Salisbury ~ he can recognize architectural details that narrow the time frame on this fantastic home.

Although Rowan County records show the home built in 1925, this 2,760 square-foot house is likely a circa 1890s home, retaining many details that are replicated in Greg's 1882 house, including arched windowed doors. Likely originally a 2-room-over-2-room home, the house ~ as many of this era experience ~ has seen expansions and modifications through the decades.

There is no sugar-coating it ~ this home is a major renovation and restoration project waiting to happen. This historic house is just a shell today...BUT...this house is built with the quality of materials and workmanship of a bygone era, and stands testimony to the reason we save these historic homes! The current owners started the restoration, so most of the hard structural and framing work is completed. A Victorian Vernacular in style, the house has wonderful space and a great floor plan. It is framed as a 4-bedroom /3.5 bath home with an owner's suite on the main floor.

The house features a large entry foyer where you'll find the staircase with its beautiful original newel post. To the right is the front parlor. As you travel through the house, the dining room is next with a primary 1st floor bedroom to its right. In the rear, clearly an addition, is the kitchen.

Many original features remain, such as the curved staircase landing, fabulous newel posts, original front doors, mantels, and wainscoting. There is a large foyer with a fireplace. The dining room has a large bay window with a high, diamond-pattern window.

The home likely originally had a wrap-around front porch that spanned the front of the house and wrapped to a door at the dining room. This feature is all but missing today.

The home's description in the National Register describes the house, saying, "Replacement two-story portico supported by square wood columns; balcony over entry with square balustrade." Indeed, the upper story's 'crow's nest' porch is a special feature, and one that is found on Greg's ca. 1882 house!

The home needs extensive restoration before it is in livable condition, including electricity, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms.

The interior needs extensive rehabilitation and restoration. All surfaces need to be restored: some original flooring is in place, while other flooring requires replacement. Obviously (see photos), walls will need to be replaced, although most of the framing is intact. (The original walls were once plaster, supported by the lathe you now see.)

The Town of Spencer has seen tremendous revitalization over the last 10 years, and that restoration ethic is in full swing! This property is in the Spencer Historic District, so exterior oversight by the Spencer Historic Preservation Commission applies.

306 S. Carolina Avenue is located in perhaps THE most desirable location in town, overlooking the highly desirable Library Park. It is just a few blocks from the coming (under construction) Spencer Downtown Park. The sounds of steam engine whistles often fill the air with nostalgia, with the North Carolina Transportation Museum nearby.

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves to find the glory in this vintage house? Call Greg Rapp, Salisbury Real Estate LLC, at 704.213.6846 to make it happen!

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

2025-04-06T16:40:00.001-04:00

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.

Award-Winning Industrial Loft Living AND Turn-Key Air BnB ~ FOR SALE ~ with Salisbury Real Estate

2025-03-06T23:53:00.003-05:00

A walk-in opportunity to LIVE/WORK in a 5000 sq ft dream industrial artists' loft in the center of vibrant downtown Salisbury!

120-B E. Innes Street in the heart of Historic Downtown Salisbury, North Carolina is FOR SALE with Realtor® Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate.

This centrally located condo is an artist-inspired brilliant adaptive reuse of a spacious industrial loft. Formerly the circa 1930s Flowers Bakery building, a pair of artists repurposed the historic bread factory in 2005 into an artist’s dream, 'EastSquare ArtWorks': a luxury spacious home, gallery space, and art studio, with works in varied mediums, including gourd art, painting, kiln-formed glass, and textile art. As the commercial bakery grew, so did the building. An original bakery began in 1905 at N. Main Street. As the business grew, the company built the long 2-story additions moving toward Lee Street in the 1930s - 1950s. Many of the original components in the space now are from that latter era.

'EastSquare ArtWorks' historical up-fit of the old bakery factory brought excitement and contemporary art and design to the historic beauty of downtown Salisbury. The first floor of the massive industrial building featured gallery and studio space, while the second floor houses the sophisticated urban loft the artists call home. The project received three awards for historic preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse from the City of Salisbury and the State of North Carolina. Historic Salisbury Foundation presented the artists with a Preservation Award in 2007, and the loft was featured in the Foundation's 2008 Annual Salisbury OctoberTour of Historic Homes.

Located in the heart of thriving Historic Downtown Salisbury, this 2nd-story loft condo is an unusually quiet downtown dwelling. Up the private staircase at the entry and into the entry hall, you'll find a utility closet, laundry room, and coat closet. The tall orange metal lockers are the original lockers from the industrial bakery. (A matching set is the yoga studio on the ground floor.)

To your left, immediately upon entry but tucked out of sight, the massive primary bedroom suite opens to an eye-popping expanse of private luxury. Painted and exposed brick walls encircle this large, airy room that has space for a king-sized bed, a spacious sitting area, stand-alone bath, a large vanity with dual sinks, walk-in shower, and huge walk-in closet. . . . all streaming with natural daylight from a surround of windows.

As you exit the hall, your next steps will stop you in your tracks as you enter into over 4,000 square feet of open-concept living space!

Here, a huge swath of original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and loads of natural light greet you. In this sprawling open space, the owners created defined 'rooms': a luxurious living room space, an office, a central dining area, and a high-functioning, fully-equipped corner kitchen with a long dining table. Nearby, a porch swing hangs from the industrial rafters at a pair of French doors that open to overlook the historic center city. An industrial dolly houses a flat-screen television. Pops of color - vivid yellow I-beams, cherry-red sprinkler system, spot-lit art, an accent purple wall - delight the eye. The space, despite its industrial roots, is flowing, warm, and inviting, with the original maple floors and subtly handsome track lighting.

Known during its artistic heyday as 'EastSquare ArtWorks', and more recently as the 'Artist Loft Air BnB' ~ 120 B E. Innes Street has been a working 5-star Air BnB since 2018 and is 'bed-and-breakfast' ready, offered fully-furnished and beautifully decorated with art, much of it original! There are *4-bedrooms, ready to go with sheets, quilts, and pillows, and bathrooms stocked with towels and amenities. A library is stocked with books. The kitchen is cook-ready. The sprawling space is an exquisitely decorated, flexible open-floor loft space. The furnishings, artwork, and library all convey!

Towards the back of this 2nd story paradise, a wide wooden ramp original to the building takes you to the artist's studio (formerly a 'yeast room' for the bakery) ~ a breathtaking open space with a skyrocketing ceiling, and a working overhead, garage-style door that opens to a Juliette balcony overlooking the rear alley. The walls here are the original vanilla-colored 1950s glazed block; underfoot, the glazed red brick floor is also original to the historic building. The space offers an office nook, art-wash sinks, plenty of storage and work surfaces, and a full bath (currently utilized as the guest bath for Air BnB guests).

The pièce de résistance is the surrounding mezzanine level overlooking the art studio. The Air BnB's 4th bedroom is at the top of the staircase, with a catwalk leading to a small sitting area. Again, natural light floods the area via a brigade of windows that overlooks the rooftop.

Included in this amazing condo's space is a long 1000 sq ft unfinished room. The current owners utilized the space as storage with plans to create gallery space, but for YOU, the future potential is limitless: remodel into an apartment, office, studio, or storage.

The condo additionally offers a ground-floor 500 sq ft garage that opens to the East Square municipal parking lot. The current owners used the garage as a workshop and gallery space. The garage is wired for both 120V and 220V and features more of the handsome red brick flooring found in the art studio. There is access to a non-passenger freight elevator via a shared common space with the adjacent building (also part of the original Flowers Bakery site). The raised loading dock at the building's exterior is at the freight elevator.

A rear alley accessed via N. Lee Street or E. Council Street provides additional parking and space for an urban garden or entertaining.

This amazing opportunity to step right into a once-in-a-lifetime loft-living, business-owning opportunity is located in the HEART of Salisbury's thriving downtown, with unique shopping, restaurants, galleries, public library, theatre, and a popular award-winning microbrewery. A beautiful central park, the Bell Tower Green, is just two blocks away. Many neighboring historic buildings also include residential components, creating a downtown neighborhood vibe. Need to get on the road? 120 E. Innes Street is two convenient blocks to Salisbury's landmark Amtrak Train Depot and within an hour's drive to either Charlotte or Greensboro airports.

Downtown Salisbury is one of ten historic districts listed with the National Register of Historic Places. City of Salisbury Historic District Design Standards and the C.O.A. (Certificate of Appropriateness) process apply for exterior changes to the Flowers Bakery building. Historic Preservation Grants may be available for exterior improvements. This building is zoned DMX (Downtown Mixed Use), so it's up to YOU whether you choose to make this a residence, an event center, a bed-&-breakfast . . . the choices are yours.

Turn-key opportunities like this one in the heart of a vibrant downtown community don't come along every day! To see this quality space in person, give Greg Rapp / Salisbury Real Estate a call: 704.213.6846. Live your best life at 120 East Innes Street!
