About this home
Distinctive Historic Elegance in Salisbury’s Newtown District!
Built circa 1920, this lovingly maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath Victorian gem rests on three thoughtful levels in Salisbury’s original Newtown Historic District—one of the region’s oldest and most admired neighborhoods.
This stately home reflects nearly a century of graceful architecture. After devastating fires in the 1860s, the Poplar Hill plantation was subdivided into what became Newtown—Salisbury’s first residential historic neighborhood, eventually populated by prominent locals, bankers, and civic leaders. Your residence at 309 Gay St. is a true contributor to that legacy, listed among other historic properties in local preservation documentation .
Interior Highlights & Flow:
An inviting covered front porch leads you inside through a classic glass-paneled front door flanked by sidelights, infusing the foyer with abundant natural light. Large windows throughout create an airy, bright ambiance. The formal living room, dining room, and adjoining side room offer generous, well-proportioned spaces ideal for entertaining or family life. The third floor is a finished space with two additional bedrooms and a full bath—making it perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or home office use .
Functional Upgrades & Condition:
This property has undergone a comprehensive recent inspection and has had repairs to electrical, plumbing, etc as well as exterior wood work and chimney repair, for modern safety and convenience . Roof is new, so check that big ticket item off the near future replacement list too! The home remains well maintained, and move-in ready with systems that meet today’s standards. Sellers home inspection available upon request.
Exterior & Parking:
An outbuilding provides secure storage or workspace. You’ll appreciate both off-street driveway parking and ample on-street parking options. The backyard is private for your outdoor enjoyment.
