Kitchen BEFORE remodel!

WHILE THESE ARE NOT what the kitchen is today, it does show some features of the space. The chimney is present and the opening from the chimney to the wall is the openway to the dining room. The fridge is in its current location and the shelves over the sink area are absent as well as all the cabinets. If you will scroll down the side bar to OLDER POST several other pages regarding the home will appear along with information regarding updates AND a picture, just one is all I have of the kitchen's current look. Please also note that in these pictures the ceiling is lower by 22 inches which has been corrected to the original height of 10ft. If you click http://1909homeforsale.blogspot.com/2009/04/eat-in-kitchenyum.html you can see the kitchen picture as it is today~without the furnishings: reproduction farmstyle sink base with dishwasher/pullout island cart and fridge stay.

Front door and view onto enclosed front porch~

Please note that the doorway to the right of this front door is the entry to the living room with a single pocket door. The bars is the wrought iron storm door that was present before the porch was enclosed. No other iron work on this home.
ALL original!

Dining Room to the right of the foyer~

The wallpaper is gone and the light has a frosted shade with hanging crystals.

The picuture with the man is the fireplace in the living room which is to the left of the foyer. The other three pictures are of the staircase landing in the foyer. The picture with the settee is the area across from this landing (previous posted picture.)

Plat Map of Earlington~Lot Dimensions

You can see the plat which I obtained from the Hopkins Country Property and Valuation today to see just exactly where our home is located. Lot dimensions are forty feet wide and one-hundred-ninety feet deep. While narrow and the house and garage take up most of the lot, it has about fifty feet between the house and garage for a courtyard backyard. The maintenance for this yard isn't much as mowing is minimal. There is a raised bed with three areas for planting. A large tree shades part of the yard with an apple and a pear tree as well which bore nicely last year for us.

This end of Main Street is quiet with little traffic because the thoroughfare from Hwy 41 turns at Robinson just three houses down to go back into Hwy 41 heading back into Madisonville. This end is also a dead end into a beautifully wooded lot where a nice older home sits nestled in amongst the trees.

Showing JUST how big. . .

The piano which doesn't come with the home is a large early 20th Century upright huge model. SEE how small it looks in comparison to the wall it's on? It's on the center of the wall which by the way HAS NO WALLPAPER, but is painted a beautiful neutral gray, is now open from the left pocket door pictured beside the lamp to the pretty terracotta colored brick chimney which is inside the kitchen. We opened this wall for a modern flow into the kitchen area from the dining room or den. In this picture, we used the room as a dining room with the piano present and formal table and chairs. Later after we opened the wall adding moldings and trims to continue the look of the original ones. The pocket doors are two huge paneled heavy doors that function with all original hardware and look. Notice the dark wood? None of it has been stripped except the hardwood floors, but it is all as it aged with time. So many times I have watched Antiques Roadshow on PBS to hear appraisers say that "patina adds value to original pieces." Well in my pursuit of old and original, if a piece is not in really bad condition, I will leave it as age and time has left it, enjoying what it is and how it is. If you purchase this home of course this is up to your taste, but I wanted to share why we never stripped or painted the woodwork in our home. Somehow for me it wouldn't have been the way to go, but you may see it another way. Another good reason to enjoy the original finish with just some Murphy's Oil Soap cleaning and Pledge care is that dark wood shows less dirt. Ha! We have children, and if you have kids you can value some extra help where cleaning is involved!

The lamp is sitting on the return air duct for the heating system (new fall 2006) and 98% efficient!

Small Town Life ~ Huge Quality!

No kidding~Earlington has to be one of small town America's BEST KEPT secrets!

Centrally located to major cities: Nashville, TN; St. Louis, MO; Chicago, IL; and Louisville, KY; this tiny berg is nestled right up to Madisonville, KY~The Best Town on Earth~without all the hustle of bustle! Earlington boasts a city park on Loch Mary a scenic sultry spring fed lake with fishing and a nice park for residents to enjoy. It's a one-light town, which makes getting to other areas very fast. For just a short ride, you can go to the Pennyrile Forest State Park for recreation that has gorgeous land formations of rocks interfacing with a natural habitat of trees and forest. Gorgeous fall seasons are amazing when you travel down Hwy 41 from Madisonville as the trees around the lake are full of color! This is the community of our gorgeous victorian home. The home is colonial revival style~it's L-shaped front porch has been enclosed to house many different uses. We used it as an office with storage. In the past, owners have had businesses from a craft shop to a surveyor's office. We enjoyed the space for the office and my craft cabinets.

Detail about our home:
10ft ceilings make each room seem nice and roomy. Windows are big and loads of bright light! This home has historic appeal~lots of potential: private home/event home or other use. 9 car garage with poured concrete flooring make this a dream for a handy-person. I refinished furniture and hubby built furniture as well as other shop activities. It once housed a basketball hoop for the kids, so it could be a play room as well to add to the yard with a nice big climbing tree and fruit trees:apple and pear. Raised flower bed and brick walk way... home and garage make the yard maintenance minimal due to size of structures. Newly poured concrete sidewalk to take you to the front entrance. Front and rear entrances with coat/mudroom capabilities.
