Description

Own a little 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 antique home was built approximately 1850 by Joseph W. Lindsey, owner and operator of the town sawmill and lumber yard. 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 handsome 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. You will notice original hardwood flooring, tall wood windows with storm covers, and 6-inch floor molding as you enter the home. The entrance consists of a light-filled foyer that leads to a large family room on the front of the home with tall picture 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. On the back of the home is the remodeled kitchen with Quartz “siltstone" countertops, Italian subway tile, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a new sink, and stainless appliances. The cabinets have all been freshly professionally painted. The remodeled powder room and the enclosed laundry room with an antique sink are off the kitchen; this laundry space does have electric baseboard heat. Heading upstairs to the 2nd level is new carpeting on the stairs and hallway 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, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and two additional bedrooms. This 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. 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 that the late Lee Hutton built in the 1990s for the last owners with specific modifications to fit their sailboat masts on the side and rear. Please notice the cannonball gate closure on the rear gate to the parking pad that allows for two vehicles. This garage has electricity, a concrete floor, and a propane heating element. The basement has outside access from the rear of the home. From here, you can see the great bones of this antique home, the utilities, large windows to let in the light, and a 150 amp electrical panel and a generator hook up (seller has never used). This side of the street and section is the only street in the historic district with backyards backing to woods and additional parking. The Johnson-Lindsey House is the house on the cover of the town map and was on featured of the Candlelight Tour. 5 Mini Splits provide A/C & Heat, main Heat is from the Hot Water Baseboard Radiators with oil fuel.
