Custom Brick 3BR/3.5BA Home on Nearly One-Acre Lot
What sets 220 St Johns Drive apart is the land as much as the house: a full 0.92-acre lot in St. John's Woods framed by mature trees, a rocking-chair front porch, and an expansive back deck that invites long evenings outdoors. This custom brick home, built in 1996, delivers 2,830 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space—roomy principal rooms on the main level and two oversized bonus rooms upstairs that extend the home’s versatility for remote work, media, guests, or play.
Step inside to find a traditional brick-built residence with durable construction and classic lines. The main level centers on a welcoming living area anchored by a fireplace, while the layout provides clear separation between public rooms and private suites. With 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the home supports multigenerational living or regular hosting; the upstairs bonus spaces give you options that many comparably sized homes don’t offer.
Practical systems are in place for everyday comfort: central heat and air, a shingle roof, a 2-car attached garage, public utilities for power and gas, and on-site well and septic service. The backyard and deck are tailor-made for entertaining or gardening on a scale you rarely find inside city limits—ample room for a vegetable garden, play areas, or a future pool. The lot’s level topography makes landscaping and outdoor projects straightforward.
Location is quietly convenient. St. John's Woods offers a residential setting with easy access to downtown Salisbury (about 5 miles), Rowan-Cabarrus Community College (roughly 6 miles) and Novant Health Rowan Medical Center (about 5 miles). While the local public schools receive modest ratings, many buyers are attracted to this neighborhood’s combination of lot size, construction quality, and proximity to regional amenities.
From a market perspective this property aligns with recent custom-brick sales on St. Johns Drive and is competitively positioned within a balanced local market. Whether you’re seeking a spacious family home, a property with room for hobbies and outdoor living, or a solid long-term hold, 220 St Johns Drive presents a rare mix of scale, condition, and location in Salisbury’s suburban fabric. Buyers should verify septic capacity and other site specifics during inspection and consider the flexible upstairs spaces when planning use.
