Description

Own a piece of history in Chesapeake City. Welcome to the Johnson-Lindsey House in the Historic District of South Chesapeake City Zoned (VC) Village Center, which allows residential and/or commercial use. This historic home was built approximately 1850 by Joseph W. Lindsey, owner, and operator of the town sawmill and lumber yard. This fabulous location is right on the route for all the local parades and events in town, and it is a short walk to all the local restaurants and shops. This home retains its historic charm coupled with all the modern conveniences a homeowner seeks today. She is a lovely traditional Federal-style wood siding home with bump-out picture windows on the south side of the main and 2nd levels. As you enter this home, you’ll notice the original cast & wrought iron fence surrounding the front courtyard. This area once had a porch, and the seller did get historical permission to add a front porch if the new owner was interested in adding this feature. The front entrance has intact stained glass and an old-style door ringer. As you enter the home, you will notice original hardwood flooring, tall wood windows with storm covers, and 6-inch floor molding. The entrance consists of a light-filled foyer that leads to a large family room on the front of the home with floor-to-ceiling windows and an electric fireplace wired for propane. This room leads to the spacious dining room with built-in cabinets and a covered side porch. The remodeled kitchen has Quartz “siltstone" countertops, Italian subway tile, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a new sink, and stainless appliances. The cabinets have all been freshly professionally painted. A remodeled powder room and the enclosed laundry room with an antique sink are off the kitchen; this laundry space does have electric baseboard heat and has been insulated. Heading upstairs to the 2nd level is new carpeting on the stairs and hallways with original hardwood flooring in the bedrooms. The first bedroom is the sizeable primary bedroom, a primary master bath that has been completely remodeled with a tile walk-in shower, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. This floor has two additional bedrooms, which would be an ideal area to add a full bathroom if the new owner needed it. Upstairs to the 3rd level are two additional bedrooms, one currently used as storage with original painted floors and another ideal space to add a 3rd full bath. Heading to the backyard is a gorgeous large courtyard-style space with a side porch, brick side patio, rear brick patio, and walkway to the detached two-car garage with electricity, a concrete floor, and a propane heating element. If desired, the garage could easily be converted into a carriage house (Air B & B rental) or business. There is a parking pad that allows for two vehicles. This side of the street and section is the ONLY area in the historic district with backyards backing to woods and additional parking. GRANT MONEY!!
