SALISBURY For over 80 years, The Salisbury Winter Sports Association has been at the forefront of ski jumping. Olaf Satre, a well known cross country skier and jumper from Norway, established what was then recognized as the Salisbury Outing Club in 1924. The club held its first competition in 1927, eventually serving as host to the National Championships in 1933. With improved features, the club continues Satre’s tradition, remaining the chosen ski destination for the Eastern National Ski Jumping Championships every year.

After Salisbury’s original railroad station burned down, the structure and future home of Satre was transported by barge from St. Elmo, New York to serve as the new town station. The building was eventually converted for residential use, and relocated from its original site, in 1939, to a new plot of land that neighbors the train tracks behind Salisbury Library.

And now, the historic home at 15 Library Street, sitting on .6 acres and owned by Lynne Bragonier, is for sale by William Pitt Sotheby’s for $629,000.

The now cape-style house features a gracious living room with a fireplace, custom cabinetry, moldings, wood floors and a dining room with bay windows overlooking the home’s well-landscaped gardens, with flowering trees, shrubs and perennial flowerbeds.

The eat-in kitchen has ceramic tile floors, custom cabinets, granite counters and new appliances. Boasting a total of four bedrooms and three baths, the home’s first floor contains a bedroom, full bath and mudroom with custom closets adjacent to the garage, while the second floor features three bedrooms, a full bath and hallway bookshelves. A bright family room or office with fireplace, and laundry room with a cedar storage space, complete the home.

“This home is charming in every sense of the word,” said listing agent Nancy Kahan. “Not only is it within walking distance of the village center, but it is also located near the Appalachian Trail, various beautiful lakes and the rich attractions of the Berkshires. With such a prominent history and connection to the town of Salisbury, any future resident should be proud to live here.”
