New Park Ammenities~

I have just been updated by my representative about the Earlington City Park~RECENTLY redone park done nicely with new equipment and even rubber mulch under the swings! THIS IS AWESOME! If you have kids or grandkids, this is the park nestled up to Loch Mary, the lake that is in Earlington less than a mile from our home!
Just thought you'd want to know ;-))

New Pictures~You Gotta See This House!

Priced at $65,000 it's unbelievable! 

I will give you info as we go grouping all the pics together by room or area~Enjoy!

This is the exterior of the home which is around 6 feet up from the street with two sets (one you see, the other to the sidewalk) from the street.  House faces North, to the right is West.

 

You are looking at the front door from the interior door from the foyer. The front porch is enclosed as you have noted in the first pic, and the floor is indoor/outdoor gray carpet. The walls are sheet rock with windows down the side on the left of this picture and windows across the front.  There are two exterior doors, the one you are seeing at the top of this picture and the one with the deck in the first picture.  On the left, you can see the house's original exterior siding.  There are three windows from the living room facing into this enclosed porch. 

  

This is the back yard from the left back corner of the house area.  There is an original brick sidewalk you can see just above the date/time stamp on the photo.  To the right of the photo is the raised bed. You can see the turned pot we had as part of our landscaping.  The swing in waiting for someone to enjoy!

This is the view of the back of the house from the garage.  On the left you can see the pear tree.  Read on in the blog to see what a wonderful yield it had this year! Yum! You can see better the sidewalk.  On the other side of the overgrown (at present) raised flowerbed, there is a brick patio.  We put table and chairs for outside pleasures!

When you come inside the back door, this is the back entry where you can either enter the downstairs bath to the right of this view (see the old dryer vent connection?) and behind your view is the kitchen entry.  The door to the bath is in character with the rest of the home. There is no door between this space and the kitchen.  The light matches the one over the sink in the kitchen AND in the butler's pantry.  Originally this was an "L" shaped porch that has been enclosed.  The wood work is less ornate than the rest of the home, but it's a wonderful place to hang your hat, coat and put your shoes~a GREAT mud room!  Paint/flooring/sheetrock/lighting 2006.

  

This is the downstairs bath.  It has a shower only and the renovations were done in 2006. The two windows have frosted plexiglass for privacy.  I used tension rods for swag curtains. The toilette is a highboy, and the right wall was done in 06 as it was originally vinyl siding. 

 This repeated picture is the view from the entryway from the back entry and back door.  It's actually misleading a bit because there is more space from the entry way to this table.  This next picture will give you a better idea of the space and when you read on in the blog there is a post with just measurements.  I hope this gives you much more details on our home.

I am going to go a head and create another post as I have many more pictures to share~thanks again to our dear friends!

If you want to see our home or have questions, please contact me. Remember we will not owner finance, do any renting to own or any kind of land contracts.  This home will need to be either cash or conventional financing. 

Thank you,

Let's Head Up That Staircase!

Heading up~ you will find a room for a landing! I encourage you to read this whole blog to see all the posts I have written and the room dimensions!

 

To the right at the top of the stairs you can see that there is a railing and rungs that match the stairs with the over look of the staircase.  Behind this picture and in the stairwell are two full sized windows with original ornate wooden trim.  I put stained glass in these as the reflections were gorgeous!  The doorway on the left is the baby blue bedroom which is the only bedroom with carpet.  This floor was not redone when the others were in 2006 by my husband.  BTW~he sanded and there was around 25 gallons of saw dust removed, so these are in pretty great shape! The finish is satin which is more in line with the period look! Back to that bedroom~it has one window in it and has an acoustic tile ceiling with the original light which matches the one on this landing. 

This is a top view of both of the door ways into the baby blue bedroom and masterbedroom.  This is an origianl light and we know because of a repair my husband did on the one in the bedroom that they are Edison Light Co lights.  They are copper colored and may very well be copper!

Here is the light with the light cover down in the baby blue bedroom.  You can see the acoustic tile ceiling.  To the left would be the window which is the same size of all the windows in our home and to the right is the door way. You can get the room dimensions by reading further on in the blog...

 

This is the upstairs landing with view just into the masterbedroom. Also I believe the orientation is standing in the doorway from the blue bedroom that has Americana blue wall paper and border. More on that room to come! But now...the master bedroom~~~

This bedroom is painted a soft mint green as is the stairwell and upstairs landing.  You can see the third of the ornate fireplaces that are nonfunctioning at present, but are fitted with their original coal workings.  The closet you see has been in this home for sometime.  It could be original because there is not decorative hardwood in it.  To the right in this picture, you can see it, but there is another closet with matching trim.  The owner prior to us made this closet and it covers an exterior window that we did not remove.  It is behind wallboard and insulation.  The room does have three (two facing North and one West) windows that are quite large and the ceiling is 10 ft.  There are two air ducts in this bedroom with reporduction decorative covers in the ceiling and a ceiling fan with light fixture.  The ceiling is wall papered as are most of our home's ceilings except for two, one being that baby blue bedroom and I will tell you about the other when we get there!  

 

This is the Americana bordered blue wall papered bedroom.  You can see the closet that has a bifold door to the left of the fireplace which is decorative only.  This picture does no justice to the tiles in this fireplace.  They are  lavender with yellow and green...Very pretty! There are three windows, same large windows as the rest of our home in this bedroom AND a HUGE walk-in closet that actually was part of an upstairs balcony-porch orignally!  There is even a window in this space! Now the floors are not redone, but it is painted nicely with the wall paper having been removed!  The hardwood floors in this bedroom are unlike the others in the home. They are darker finished and were not redone in 20006. There is a celing fan with a school house fixture.

This may not be the very best picture of our bathroom, but it's soo way much better than any before!
You can see the claw footed tub which was redone in 2007 with interior sanding and resurfacing and exterior painting.  The floor was new luan and vinyl that extends into the smallest bedroom that originality both the bath and bedroom were one bedroom!  There is not threshold molding as it's one piece!  The wainscotting in the bath is panneling and the the walls above are painted a golden beige.  There is a large gold-gilt mirror over the sink.  The window in both these rooms are bullseye or rosette depending upon your definition.  The bathroom trims are painted, the bedroom ones are not.  I don't have a pic of this bedroom, but the painted color of this bathroom extends into this bedroom for a nice neutral touch.  I used this room as a guest room with a single bed and a dressing room with my vanity because behind this bedroom is the other portion of the what was originally an upstairs balcony porch now enclosed and a laundryroom/closet.  This is a very large space where I not only washed and dried our clothes, but stored many hanging clothes and blankets, luggage and more! There is a hanging bar and shelf that extends the entire length of the laundryroom.  I loved this becasue when we bought our home the laundry was in the back entry near the kitchen and back door.  You can see the dryer vent still present in the room in the picture!  Having laundry upstairs is so convenient and modern! Since the bedrooms are upstairs, this made perfect sense to me!

For Sale By Owner
We are unwilling to owner finance, rent to own OR land contract our home, so without being rude, please don't ask u.  We are looking for a qualified buyer who will purchase with a conventional loan or cash.  This home will not go FHA or VA due to age and some of the original features yet to be upgraded like the windows.  You will want this information early on, so I've told you ;-)) Also in the discovery of our home, we have found that the insulation in the attic is vermiculite.  You may read about it here http://www.epa.gov/asbestos/pubs/verm.html#contaminated  as it's considered a EPA issue.  If you read all of the information, there are no recommendations to removed or test, just not disturb it in any way, but don't take my word for it, read the EPA site ;-)) Old houses are often insulated with vermiculite, and it should be assume to be contaminated.  If I am able to answer your questions or you would like to see our home, please contact me. 

Thank you for your interest in our beautiful home.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Price

Price does equal value, and if you will look about, at $21 a sq ft for this home is UNBELIEVABLE!

AND it's amazing! It has a simple charm. There's no grandiosness to the home, but a quality like an older home should have~solidness and surity!

Distances to Everything in Madisonville!

I am excited about Walk Score. Walk Score is a service to show how far it would be to walk to places in the community. Now our score is 29 (I hope I am remembering correctly); I got so excited because I can show you that Earlington is nestled from the hustle and bustle of the town but not too far that within 5-10 minutes you can be at what was OUR favorite grocery store~MarketPlace. . .Here's the link: http://www.walkscore.com/get-score.php?lat=37.274835&lng=-87.51036&utm_source=zillow.com&utm_medium=ws_api&utm_campaign=ws_api&street=206+E+Main+St+Earlington+KY+42410 Imagine that you lived in the hub of the bigger town Madisonville with the noises that traffic can bring (Blackwell's Diner and the Historical Soc are downtown; the BP Gas is NOT the station close to the house, so no worry...you are close to gas~AND the BP is near our favorite grocer!!)...not in our little berg...yeah, you can hear the train and some cars as they turn to go N on St Hwy 41, but while I don't have numbers, it's not a "freeway" kind of pattern...the Pennyrile Parkway is generally used for most N-S travel from Hopkinsville (south of Earlington) to Madisonville. I hope this is helpful. There is the Earlington post office a block up from our home and the bank a block the other direction...a block up and one over is the convenience/gas store...

Earlington is a ONE REDLIGHT town!

I always liked that! HOPE you will too! Come see our home!

Pear Recipes from Bell Canning and Betty

Hello

Welcome to our Victorian home's site!

As promised~here are the recipes my Mama uses to make wonderful goodies for pears growing in the yard~READ On too for a pear pie recipe~easy!

Get these recipes down, and look at our home for sale by owner! If you would enjoy a 3Ksq ft home~4 br/2ba with 9 car garage in Western KY for $65,000 keep on reading!

Thanks for stopping by~our home has a wonderful pear and apple tree~Enjoy! Be sure to HOP On for some more recipes!

Pear Relish

10 ½ pounds pears, peeled, cored and chopped

6 cups chopped onions (about 6 medium)

6 cups chopped sweet red peppers (about 6 medium)

6 cups chopped sweet green peppers (about 6 medium)

1 bunch celery, chopped (discard leaves and coarse stalks)

3 cups sugar

1 tablespoon allspice

1 tablespoon salt

5 cups vinegar

Combine all ingredients and let stand overnight. Bring mixture to boil. Pack into hot jars leaving ¼ inch space. Adjust caps. Process 20 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes about 9 pints

My notes – If I don’t have red peppers, I use 6 green instead (12 peppers)

Use a vinegar (I prefer apple cider vinegar, but it does darken mixture) of a least 5% acidity. I use a food grinder to corsley grind all ingredients except spices. This relish is better if you wait about a month to use to let flavors blend. Very good to use in tuna salad, on hot dogs and a side relish with beans. Place in refrigerator after opening.

Pickled Pears

12 pounds peeled pears. (If small leave whole, larger pears cut in quarters)

3 cups sugar

1 tablespoon mixed pickling spice

1 teaspoon whole cloves

1 piece ginger root (I use powdered ginger ½ teaspoon)

½ cup thinly sliced lemon

2 ½ cups water

1 ½ cups vinegar

Peel and prepare pears. Put spices in cheesecloth bag. ( I don’t use a bag) Put all ingredients except pears in a container and boil 5 minutes. Add pears and cook gently for approximately 15 minutes until pears are tender. Carefully remove pears. Repeat until all pears are cooked. Pour boiling liquid over pears. Cover and let stand 12 – 18 hours in a cool place. Pack pears into hot jars being careful not to tear them. Leave ¼ inch space. Bring pickling liquid to a boild and pour over pears leaving ¼ space. Remove air bubbles. Process pints and quarts 15 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield about 3 pints.

Notes: These are best if allowed to cure for a month before using. I like to put them in the refrigerator and eat cold. If you are preparing them for Christmas, put a small amount of red or green food coloring in them when preparing to make them look more festive.

Older Than We Thought???

Here's a bombshell~

I have spent a little time researching the history of our home~

I had been told that the St. Bernard Coal Company which operated the coal mine that funded the City of Earlington and was named after Mr. Earl, a coal exec. built the home for their coal doctor, Dr. Nisbet in 1909. Interesting findings show that while St. Bernard Coal did own and parcel out the land as town lots, there were two intermediary owners who could have built the home thenselves OR sold the lots and Dr. Nisbet may have built the home himself. (Because there is a home listed in the 1880 transaction between Robinson and McCarley, did Mr. Robinson build our home?? This is VERY likely given that the other homes on the other lots were built much much later.)

Now this is exactly what we know:

• St. Bernard Coal Co owned lots 5,6,7,and 8 and was parceling out town lots from 1870-1880.

• In 1874, St. Bernard Coal Co. sold these four town lots to Mr. Benjamin Robinson, a local store merchant (four lots 200X190). (Cross street is Robinson Street.)
  

• In 1880 Mr. Robinson sold all lots and a house (MINE???) to William McCarley.

• In 1905 Mrs. McCarley (widow of William McCarley) sold lots 5 & 6 to Dr. William K. Nisbet. NOTE: Dr. Nisbet bought and sold properties all over Earlington throughout several years on different blocks. The clerk told me that his name appears in several places where he owned and sold properties all over Earlington.

• In 1939 Mrs. Nisbet, widow of Dr. Nisbet sold only lot 6 to Mrs. Mary P. Wyatt. The deed said, land and improvements. Is this the time period our home was built by Dr. Nisbet or did indeed Mr. McCarley build it and sell it in the lots 5 & 6???

• Sometime prior to her passing, Mrs. Wyatt deeded the lot 6 (our home and property~40X190 lot and home) to her son, Omer J. Wyatt.

• 1974 sold by Mr. Wyatt to Mr. Terry Stewart.

• 1978 sold by Mr. Stewart to Mr. Arnold Walker.

• 1981 sold by Mr. Walker to Mr. Roy Agnew.

• 1982 sold by Mr. Agnew to Mr. Edward Mauk.

• 1993 sold by Mr. Mauk to Mr. Bueler Travis.

• 2004 sold by Mr. Travis to Mr. Willaim Jackson.

• 2006 sold by Mr. Jackson to Rev. Eric McDunnell, Sr. (current owners)

In reference to the plat the lot numbers of this block begin at Days Street with Lots 1 & 2, 3 &4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to Robinson Street running east to west. http://1909homeforsale.blogspot.com/2009/06/plat-map-of-earlingtonlot-dimensions.html Click to see plat. Section 24. Now as I compare the deed info to this plat, the numbers are not the same. Was it redrawn and this an older map? I KNOW the last three owners myself, personally knowing the ownership and authenticated it from Mr. Mauk to us. I was told by the clerk that our home is lot 6, but it's not what the map calls it, and also the owners who I know have ck'd their information and their lot numbers do not correlate to this plat. I do suspect that the numbers have been redone at some point after this plat also because this plat shows a railroad yard/depot which I know from historical accounts did exist at this turn of the 20th Century that does not exist now. This is shown on this plat. At Earlington Elementary School and in the Trover Clinic medical facility, there are pictures and artist renditions of the old town which show an old historic depot and even the old schools. So the plat really is of little value other than to show that the town is a small quaint place and that it is very much residential in nature.

Here is the info from the Hopkins County Clerk's office:

So according to this, our home could be as old at 1880 or before~my goodness! You know, since I love historic homes, this doesn't surprise me really. This home has had a few changes over the years and the double lot may account for a renovation that added a kitchen adjacent to the dining room when we know by the way the wall dividing the two spaces was built entirely too close to the double pocket door trim~a practice not done by the skill and pride of those Victorian builders! So when we removed 1/3 of that wall to open the area for easy access and a modern flow, we discovered lath and plaster just like the rest of the home but understand that this practice continued into the 30's. The original kitchen and out house most likely were located on the lots somewhere! IS MY HOME Pre1880? It's entirely possible! The style and craftsmanship is present~also the upstairs bath was added later by dividing a bedroom and there was an upper back porch that has been enclosed and today are the laundry and walk in closets! I can say WHAT a SURPRISE and how wonderful it is to KNOW that our home was LOVED~I KNEW it had to have been because it has been so well cared for over the years: LOVED, Valued and a wonderful HOME!

Well, well, well, I am amazed and thrilled all at the same time!

If our home interests you, contact me, SisterTipster@gmail.com or call 216-759-7596 for your private showing! Qualified buyers only please. No owner financing or land contract/rent to own~thanks!

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!

Butler's pantry pics only

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.)

This ornate fireplace has carved features. Large spacious room for your living or dining area! We used it for both at different times. Before the kitchen remodel 2007, we used this room as a livingroom. When we opened the wall between the kitchen and existing dining room, we used this for formal dining and the new space was a family/kitchen area. In opening 1/3 of the wall between the kitchen and previous dining room it gave a modern layout and feel! Either way you choose, these are both large spacious rooms that will accommodate your desires for a historic home with modern features!

HUGE GARAGE~WOW!

If I said 9 car it sounds unbelievable! But it is exactly that! However there is a loft in the corner for storage so it is about an eight car...we stored a camper, boat, van, full size truck and a car plus kid's bikes and all manner of STuFF right in there! This is a DREAM for a handy-person!!
