"Chapel Road" ~ Turn of the Century Style ~ Town of Lively

This home hearkens to an earlier era with it's spacious lot and multitude of out buildings. One can imagine fresh vegetables from the garden and daily eggs gathered from the chicken coop in the backyard. The land is level with 1.758 ± acres, dotted with flowering shrubs, and features a large shade tree in the front yard. The home is circa 1912 and offers 1,854 ± square feet. A curving front porch with screens and classic round columns give this home unusual curb appeal. A gently curved cement sidewalk leads from the street to the front door, creating a welcome walk to the town shops.

The front door has raised panels and frosted glass in the window, sidelights, and overhead transom. The entry hall hosts a wide stairway with a big wooden banister and painted risers. The home features wood flooring and high ceilings with pendant lights. There is some "bulls-eye" trim and wide shoe molding at the base of the walls. To the right of the hallway is a formal Living Room or "Parlor" that is separated from a large, central Family Room by double French Doors. The central Family Room is open to a Dining Room which is framed by dark wooden columns and features a Bay with three windows. There is also an opening to the entry Hall for a circular traffic flow. Opposite the hallway door, the Family Room opens to a small Study with a Powder Room.

A large country kitchen is behind the Family Room and has vinyl flooring and panelled walls. There is an electric range and a refrigerator, plus some metal cabinets, and a built-in corner china cupboard. The Family Room and the Kitchen both have vented kerosene heaters, and the home has several window air conditioning units. Off the Kitchen is a utility room with a large sink and the water heater. Also off the Kitchen is an enclosed porch. There is a stairway from the kitchen to storage space in the attic.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one hobby room, and a full bath with vinyl flooring and an acrylic tub/shower. One of the bedrooms features beadboard wall panelling, and another of the rooms offers carved wooden corner protectors. There are open floor registers for heat from the first floor.

This house is being sold strictly "AS IS" and the Seller will not make any repairs.

Exclusively Offered for $152,000
