Description
THE CHAIRMAKER'S HOUSE- circa 1868 Just beyond the edge of Bedford Historic district, this charming all brick, 2-story, 4 BD, 2 1/2 BA home with high ceilings and lots of double pane windows sits. It was originally built in 1868 (lumber cut and bricks made on site) This home was occupied by a chair maker at the edge of town. This house is within easy walking distance to downtown Bedford (4 blocks), historic sites, courthouse, shopping, restaurants, library, golfing, senior living facilities, various other services and the OMNI Bedford Springs Resort. In approximately 1959, a chiropractor purchased the home and added an office/suite/guestroom with a seperate entrance and full bath to the first floor. This made the 4th bedroom, which could easily be used as an in law suite or rented as an efficiency apartment. The upstairs sleeping porches were walled to create extra closets and storage on the second floor and a powder room, closet and mudroom on the first floor. Later, a full metal roof and enhanced long gravel drive were added, An outside 30 amp hookup was also added to accomodate a large RV. A new kitchen floor was installed in 2023 to add a weathered oak look in the kitchen. Created with waterproof vinyl plank flooring. The whole house has had upgraded electric service to meet the current codes and expanded electric service to the attic, 2nd floor rooms, tool shed, storage spaces and the basement. A full basement and huge attic provide ample additional usable space that can be heated or cooled. The 12-16' wide wood planks that support the roof are made of chestnut, oak and white pine and were probably cut on site as they run the full length of the house in one piece. Natural gas provides the radiator heat (2 zones), hot water and stainless steel cook stove. A stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator complete the kitchen. Solid oak cabinets surround the spacious kitchen, which includes a large movable kitchen island with breakfast bar and storage. The laundry area is conveniently located on the 1st flr off the kitchen and has extra tall and big storage cabinets above the washer & dryer. A powder room/half bath and 2 storage closets are conveniently located off the kitchen near the side porch entryway. The side porch is enclosed on 3 sides to reduce wind and weather. A new fullview storm door with built-in roll down screen has been installed on the door leading into the kitchen from the side porch. Individual small window air conditioning units cool all 7 rooms comfortably. Custom made insulated curtains and blackout roll down shades adorn most of the 7 ft tall sun filled windows, most of which are strategically situated on the south and east facing walls to maximize winter sunshine. Special features of the home include: 9 ft ceilings, lots of closets and built in bookshelves, a rear stairway with build in pantry shelving, a full length collection display shelf in the kitchen, built in bookshelves in 4 rooms, antique hardware, solid wood doors, door knobs and door frames, hardwood floors, full flooring in the large attic, antique natural wood banister on the main stairs, arched doorway between the living and dining rooms. 2 small inset grottos highlight the center hall and a spacious closet under the main stairway. Notable outdoor features include 2 huge pink dogwood trees, a large magnolia tree shades the front yard and in the middle of the back yard sits a beautiful burning bush. A hedge surrounds much of the backyard for privacy. Off street paved and gravel parking accommodate several small and large vehicles. A lockable storage building with shelving hugs the real of the house. A durable Tuff Spa salt water hot tub with custom cover is installed on the side porch, and is available for sale separately. Lots of extra building materials, shelving and house hardware can convey
