Property Description
Built in 1907 and filled with the kind of character you simply can't recreate, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home blends more than a century of charm with updates where they matter. From the covered brick porch and distinctive bay windows to the detailed trim and warm wood front door, the personality begins before you even step inside.
The interior continues the story. The entire house was constructed with solid American Chestnut Lumber --a prized material historically known for its strength, durability, and resistance to rot, which is rarely found in homes today. The home's original windows have been thoughtfully preserved, with high quality Andersen windows installed over them to provide added efficiency and comfort, all while retaining the historic character of the originals. Combined with the home's timeless architectural details, it offers a wonderful connection to more than a century of Appalachian history.
While preserving the character that makes it so special, the home has also received an impressive list of updates within the past three years. Improvements include a new 40-year roof, seamless gutters with gutter guards, fresh paint, new water heater, and new privacy fence. The sunroom has been refreshed with a new door and windows, creating an inviting space to relax and enjoy, while new sod has enhanced the yard and outdoor appeal.
Original-style woodwork, beadboard accents, hardwood flooring, a beautiful staircase, decorative fireplace, and oversized windows that bring in plenty of natural light all make up the character and charm inside. Outside, the spacious yard offers even more to enjoy, including a covered pavilion and unique stone outdoor fireplace/grill area--an unexpected feature perfect for creating a backyard gathering space.
Conveniently located in a highly sought-after neighborhood close to downtown Norton. A short walk to restaurants, shops, parks, and schools. Or go for a short drive to hike, bike, or fish in the beautiful High Knob and Flag Rock Recreation Area in the Jefferson National Forest.
This home is anything but cookie-cutter, this is a home for someone who appreciates history, character, and the details that make a property truly one of a kind.
