The David A. Atwell House: A Salisbury Landmark

Rare opportunity to own a Salisbury landmark. The David A. Atwell House at 404 West Kerr Street is a masterwork of Queen Anne and Stick-Eastlake architecture. From the sweeping wraparound porch with turned posts, matchstick balusters, and spindle frieze to the original hardwood floors, ornate mantels, and stained glass transoms preserved within, this home tells a story that no new construction ever could. Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Soaring ceilings, a grand hand-turned staircase, multiple decorative fireplaces, and intricate millwork are found throughout. The entry hall sets the tone immediately and every room that follows delivers on that promise. The main level features a primary bedroom with en-suite bath and an additional full bathroom. The second floor offers four generous bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor provides an additional 1,426 square feet of space with 6’10” ceiling height. The third floor falls below the minimum ceiling height threshold required to be included in total heated living area and is therefore excluded from HLA, but remains fully accessible and functional space with significant potential. New roof installed in 2022. Private paved driveway accessible from the rear of the property. This property may qualify for the City of Salisbury’s historic preservation grant program and additional rehabilitation tax credits. See attached documents for details.
