Property Description
There is a saying that ''those who love an old house, never love in vain.'' This statement is definitely true for this house, as it has been well loved by families for decades! Interestingly, before becoming a home, it was actually a school house for several years! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, fully furnished home, built in 1898, has all the ''old house'' beauty, charm and warmth, as well as great design details. Plus, the wide array of antiques included in the sale make it even more desirable for those who love items with rich histories! This home on AirBnB is known as the '1898 Inn,' and renters love the historical home.
Located in Chadbourn, the home sits on a large corner lot with beautiful shade trees. There is plenty of yard space for outdoor fun. As you enter the home from the welcoming front porch, you will see original hardwood heart pine floors throughout the house. A spacious family room, with a fireplace and gas logs, is perfect for family gatherings. The formal dining room and breakfast room provide great spaces for entertaining. The kitchen has original cabinets and pretty wooden countertops that were made from the county's old local bowling alley lanes. The 2 baths have been updated, but the ''old house'' charm has been maintained by keeping an original cast iron claw foot bathtub. The screened porch looks out to the spacious back yard where there is a large building that can be used for storage or a workshop. Even the building has a cool history, as it was once an old country store that was relocated to the lot years ago.
Additionally, as of 2021, the home has new plumbing and wiring throughout, as well as a new heat pump, tankless water heater, stove, dishwasher, and gas logs.
