Property Description
Nestled in the Ellis Street Graded School Historic District, the T.J. Anderson House at 500 W. Council Street sits in the heart of Historic Salisbury, NC. Built circa 1912, this architectural treasure showcases the Queen Anne style with its soaring ceilings, original moldings, mantels, wainscoting, hardwood floors, period doors, and hardware. Thoughtfully restored in the 1990s to reflect its original charm, the home features classic clapboard siding, louvered shutters, decorative lunettes in the gables, and a stately porch supported by fluted Tuscan columns with matchstick balusters extending along the front and eastern wing. A tall hipped roof with pressed metal shingles crowns the home. Positioned on a corner lot with mature landscaping, the property includes a spacious back deck overlooking a generous brick patio, all enclosed by a combination of picket and wooden fencing. Located within walking distance of Bell Tower Green Park, downtown shopping, restaurants, and three theaters, this distinguished historic home is ready to welcome new owners to carry on its legacy. Historic district restrictive covenants apply.
