Historic home lovers, this one is something special. If you appreciate original craftsmanship, gorgeous millwork, and grand old houses with room to spare, the David A. Atwell House deserves a serious look. Built in 1900 and located in Salisbury, North Carolina, this architectural beauty offers nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, breathtaking original details, and even more bonus space on the third floor — all for $350,000.
Let’s start with the feature that immediately steals the show: all of that incredible unpainted woodwork. It’s becoming increasingly rare to find historic homes where the original wood has been preserved so beautifully. Rich wood tones, intricate millwork, and period craftsmanship bring warmth and authenticity to nearly every room.
The exterior sets the tone with a large covered wraparound porch, classic Queen Anne character, and beautiful historic detailing. Step inside, and the home immediately makes an impression with soaring ceilings, elegant original wood floors, wide baseboards, and stunning architectural features throughout.
The beautiful staircase is a true centerpiece and perfectly showcases the craftsmanship of the era. Additional historic highlights include pocket doors, bay windows, elegant French doors, wainscoting, picture rails, original mantels, and a gorgeous stained glass transom window that adds even more historic charm.
The home offers an impressive seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, and approximately 4,899 square feet of living space — and that’s not even counting the third floor, which provides an additional 1,426 square feet of usable space not included in the official square footage. That bonus level opens the door to all kinds of possibilities, from guest rooms and creative studios to hobby spaces or additional living areas.
A screened-in back porch offers a quiet place to relax, while the flexible floor plan could appeal to buyers considering multigenerational living or creative use of the large space.
