Cute as a button! Circa 1914 2 bedroom cottage sits elevated on S. Salisbury Ave (Hwy 29) across the street from the NC Transportation Museum. Large 8'x26' front porch. Original wainscotting in living room & kitchen. The original (non-operating) coal fireplace has a mantle and surround. Original refinished hardwood floors gleam! The new Jack & Jill bathroom is between the bedrooms, which is convenient and space-saving! The kitchen has new cabinets & subway-style tile backsplash and will accommodate a small dining area. HVAC (heat Pump)system is new. This is an all-electric home and is on city water and sewer. The roof is approximately 6 years old. A few blocks from Spencer's Historic Downtown with few restaurants, shopping, and museums. Property is zoned HB Highway Business and can be used as residential. No permits were pulled for rehab, but HVAC and Plumbing were done by licensed tradespeople. This is a nice little 110 year old cottage that is turn-key and ready for your touches.
