About This Home

As of June 2025

This beautiful home, located in the Historic West Square of Salisbury, is bursting with character and is a short walk to shops, dining and a new park. It is a 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath home with six wood burning fireplaces, an oversized detached garage and a large concrete driveway, unusual for a historic home. The second floor contains 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; the master bathroom is absolutely stunning. The main floor, both unique and functional, has a kitchen with chef grade equipment such as a Viking range and commercial refrigerator, a library, two dining areas, a living room, half bath and an amazing sunroom. The basement is one of a kind. It is a perfect space for entertaining or to use as an air BNB. It has a full bath, W/D hook up, kitchen and separate entrance. The architecture was modeled after a bar/restaurant called Ratskeller in Munich Germany. This home has been updated both cosmetically and functionally but has maintained its historic charm throughout.
