Spacious 3,373 SF Home on Nearly 1-Acre with Trex Deck & Gazebo

The main level welcomes you with a formal sitting room framed by custom built-ins and a formal dining room with a large walk-in pantry/closet. At the heart of the home, a kitchen built for everyday life features a large center island and a custom built-in pantry — generous cabinet storage and a layout that works for both weekday routines and larger gatherings.
The main-floor primary suite is a private retreat: French doors open to the large Trex deck, a roomy walk-in closet handles wardrobe needs, and the primary bathroom includes a walk-in tub with heat and therapeutic jets — a true spot for decompressing after a long day.

Upstairs a gorgeous, open bonus area spans much of the second floor — ideal for a media room, playroom, guest suite, or hobby space. Fine details throughout include recessed lighting, elegant crown molding, and the charm of multiple French and pocket doors that add character and flow. Outside, enjoy a wrap-around front porch and a private backyard oasis with a large Trex deck and a charming gazebo — perfect for weekend entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars.

A factual market snapshot around 1012 Saint Paul Church Rd.
Salisbury and greater Rowan County continue to attract buyers priced out of core Charlotte neighborhoods who seek larger lots and value for square footage. Median single-family prices in the area trend below Charlotte proper (approx. $275k–$300k median), but larger finished homes on acreage such as this one occupy a niche that commands a premium. Current inventory in Rowan County has been moderate, creating opportunities for well-appointed homes priced competitively. With a list price of $482,900 and a price-per-square-foot near $143, this offering sits squarely in the market segment for buyers prioritizing finished living area and outdoor amenities rather than ultra-close-in city location. Days on market for comparable product typically range from 30–60 days; well-marketed homes with clear utilities and permitted bedroom counts commonly see competitive offers.
Likely zoned for single-family residential / rural residential in Rowan County (typical codes: RA or R-xx). Parcel on nearly 1 acre consistent with low-density residential zoning.
