Built in 1921, we bought it from the next door neighbor. He was born in this house in the 1940's.
The back porch was added in the 1940's after converting the back corner porch into a bedroom. At some point, this porch housed a carpeted laundry room.
Right inside the front door, we were met with a central hallway with beaded board walls and ceiling + a staircase to a surprise second floor! To the left was or neighbor's childhood bedroom and to the right the living room.
Abandoned so long ago, birds were living in the chimney & living room, animals roamed the house, and all else just sat where it had been left decades prior.
This is a view into Jerry's childhood bedroom. It then belonged to one of his children and housed books, trophies, and toys from the 1980's.
The back of the house was not the best of surprises with a long gone kitchen, ceilings caving in, and a porch we couldn't access due to waist high debris.
We were thrilled with the upstairs, likely finished later than the rest of the house and cleaner in every way!
The house wasn't insulated, so former owner (aka next door neighbor) insulated from the outside with vinyl siding & storm windows. While this makes sense, we are taking the look back to the original 1920's structure and insulating inside the walls + adding heat and air.
