More About This House
A unique Arts & Crafts entry vestibule welcomes you beneath large rafter tails under an eyebrow-arched roofline, through a one-of-a-kind beveled-glass, arched door flanked by eight-paned beveled sidelights. A curved drive, through a covered porte-cochere, echoes a bygone era of elegance & stature. Earth-toned brick, green trim, and the original green terracotta tile roof create a tranquil, period-correct exterior.Inside, the foyer opens to a jaw-dropping, elegant entertaining parlor with soaring coffered ceilings, a grand fireplace featuring its original Rookwood tile, gleaming oak herringbone parquet floors, and high wainscoting.
The grand, curved staircase is modeled after the Hambley-Wallace Mansion, nearby on Fulton Street. French doors flank the formal parlor, leading to a handsome sunroom on the right, or to the informal parlor to the left. The sunroom features TEN 6-over-6 windows and tile flooring.
The private parlor offers handsome oak floors, a second fireplace, and access to the covered portion of the wrap-around veranda and the porte-cochere. Light fixtures in the home were carefully curated and are either period-correct reproductions or marvelous antiques.
Pocket doors lead to a bright and spacious formal dining room with architectural wainscoting and light-filled 10-over-1 windows. The dining room leads into the NEW kitchen, featuring solid-surface countertops, a gorgeous copper sink, and a pot-filler over the new gas stove, along with ample pantry and storage space. A sunny breakfast room off the kitchen leads downstairs to a rear door to the backyard, or further to the basement.
Upstairs, four bedrooms again feature gorgeous windows. Bathrooms showcase subway tile, basket-weave tile flooring, and walk-in showers. The upstairs baths are arranged as Jack-and-Jill pass-throughs. A convenient laundry room is located here.
The home was long-term vacant and underwent permitted structural repair and interior restoration from 2017 to 2022, including a new electrical system, plumbing, new HVAC systems, and carefully sourced period light fixtures. During that period, new bathrooms and the kitchen were installed.
Additional features include a full unfinished basement, professionally landscaped yard (with zoysia grass - dormant until mid-April), and the original terra-cotta roof, repaired where needed with extra tiles stored on site.
The home is located in the West Square Historic District and is under City of Salisbury Historic Preservation Commission Design Standards review for exterior changes. The property has a Historic Salisbury Foundation deeded preservation agreement in place, preserving it for future generations.
