About This Property
Say goodbye to cookie cutter living & give yourself the gift of a
very special property, its origin coinciding with the birth of our
nation! Built on land that was part of the 861 acres purchased in
1752 by Fielding Lewis, the lot ultimately was sold to the Walker
family where there's some evidence they built the original part of
this home between 1767-1770. One of the most fascinating
parts of the house is its English basement - having served as a
primary bedroom suite, & an efficiency rental unit, with its own
outdoor access; but it also offers perfect flex space for any
number of creative uses. The centerpiece is a huge fireplace
measuring 8' wide with the opening 5' wide & an arched top
measuring 4' at the maximum height! Very large irregularly shaped
stones run around the entire basement & 3/4 of the way up the wall.
The plate and center beam are made of massive hand-cut pieces of
heartwood with the floor joists running in 2 directions. An
en suite 3-pc bathroom features Italian tiles and Brazilian
granite. In the mechanical room, there's a rare remaining (covered
& sealed) hand dug well from the late 1700s! You'll also find a
sump pump; the home had a French drain installed by the current
owner. Entering the home from Caroline Street, you'll be
stunned at the size of the interior! Ten foot ceilings greet you in
an oversized foyer, & gorgeous heart pine wood floors - laid over
the original random-width floors in the 1800s - extend through the
spacious living room with masonry fireplace & period mantle. French
doors separate the living room from the kitchen with wood floors,
as well as another set separating the foyer from the laundry area
with beadboard ceiling, & powder room (with pocket door), where the
LVP flooring is heated. The sunny kitchen features a center isle
with built-in Jenn-Air gas stove, breakfast bar, skylight, & room
for dining. Step down into a larger dining area (with easy care
LVP) that also has served multiple purposes (the area was at one
time a bedroom, & the Seller used it as a cozy den). Windows along
the back of the dining area/den look out into a surprisingly large
backyard, accessed by a slider at the side, with a 6' privacy
fence, garden, & plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining, dog
play, & even expansion. If you love historical homes, you'll really
appreciate the original random-width wide-plank flooring in the 2
upstairs bedrooms, the larger of the 2 with a fireplace. And the
smaller of the 2 (accommodates a queen-sized bed!) features a
gorgeous interpretation of a Monet on the ceiling - painted by
former owner & celebrated artist Mirinda Reynolds. The updated 2nd
floor bathroom's floors are of reclaimed wood from the 94 year old
Embrey Dam breach of 2004. Large soaker tub with handheld shower, &
a dual sink vanity round out the bath. Part of the house previously
outfitted with ductwork for forced air gas heat, the current owner
removed that system & had both a heat pump & mini splits installed.
