3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 4431115 MLS

Exceptional quality, thoughtful design, and an affordable price point come together in this beautifully built 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in Salisbury. From the moment you walk inside, the impressive 10-foot ceilings create an open, spacious feel rarely found in a home of this size and price range. And the quality goes far beyond what you can see. The home was constructed with 2x6 exterior walls, one of the details that speaks to the intention behind the entire build. This was never intended to be a cookie-cutter home. When the seller built this property, the goal was to create a home that would last—one that could be offered at an affordable, entry-level price point without feeling like an entry-level home. The focus was on building it well, choosing quality materials, and creating a home that anyone would be proud and comfortable to live in. That same attention to detail continues into the kitchen, featuring brand-new appliances, beautiful white quartz countertops, and all-wood cabinetry with 42-inch upper cabinets. These are finishes and construction details you simply don't expect to find at this price point. The primary suite offers an en suite bathroom and generous walk-in closet, providing the space, storage, and functionality today's buyers are looking for. Outside, the home sits on more than half an acre, offering a large yard with plenty of room for kids to play, pets to roam, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own outdoor space. The location makes it even better. You're right in town and close to shopping, dining, schools, and everyday conveniences, while still enjoying the space that comes with a large homesite. With 1,234 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 10-foot ceilings, quality 2x6 exterior-wall construction, upgraded finishes, and more than half an acre, this home offers something increasingly difficult to find: a thoughtfully built, quality home at an attainable price point. This isn't about building the biggest house. It's about building a home well—and building it to last.
