145 South Street

Welcome to this enchanting piece of local history you will call "Home"! Meticulous maintenance through the years allows this classic southern style colonial to offer a unique blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort. As you approach, the front facade is framed by lush gardens welcoming you past restored pillars and into the foyer. Fir, maple, tiger maple and cherry hardwood original moldings, doors and flooring adorn the interior. Other unique features include an original leaded glass window, original antique lighting fixtures, pocket doors and a custom stained glass window. The first floor is ready for all your entertaining and leisure needs with a den, living room (featuring a river stone fireplace and hearth), dining room and large kitchen. The remodeled kitchen features a wall oven and microwave, drop in stove, granite countertops, cabinet organizers, a butler pantry and eat in space. There is also a full bathroom which contains an original pedestal sink and clawfoot tub. To go upstairs you may pick the front or rear staircase. Both lead to 3 large bedrooms, an upstairs laundry room (could be converted back to a 4th bedroom) and a remodeled bathroom with marble counter tops, double vanity, stand up shower, jacuzzi tub and perhaps most importantly- radiant heated floors. The tranquil second floor front balcony will be your new favorite relaxation spot from Spring through Fall! The basement contains a river stone foundation and chimney (with sandstone walls). Out back is an expansive yard and a large barn/garage (which had its foundation replaced along with newer windows installed). With a spacious loft, hand-hewn beams and wide wood flooring, the barn offers many possibilities. Another piece of history, the barn is said to be part of the Underground Rail Road. Located near the Square in the heart of historic Chardon, this is truly a special home with unparalleled craftsmanship and care. Schedule your private tour and prepare to have your breath taken away!
