Asking: $80,600 Annual property tax: $262
The house is set on an unusual triangular lot at the intersection of Chestnut and Pine streets. 125 Chestnut Street was built in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, like most of its neighbors. It began as a two-story center-passage-plan house facing Pine Street. That façade features a central, two-story, one-bay porch with a pediment roof and slender, chamfered square post/columns with molded capitals. The original rooms in this section have molded trim, tall square baseboards, and (on the main floor) slate mantels with ornamental veining and incused decoration. The Chestnut Street façade displays several additions made after 1900. The hipped roof of those additions has a porch along the southwest side. The mantel in the rear room on the first floor is Italianate, with applied decorative panels, while the front room has a simple Greek-style pilaster mantels.
This property was most recently used as a quad. Duplex use suggested.

In its original form, this building was a two-story single-family house. That house was enlarged and made into four apartment units in the 1920s, but is best suited for a duplex. The front of the dwelling has two-story polygonal bay windows flanking the paired doors to the porches. High casement windows to the rear of the first chimneys also light each of the four front rooms. Extensive exterior work has been completed including a complete reconstruction of the porches that define this dwelling from the street.

The two-story, clapboard double house anchors the lower section of Pine Street. Very unassuming in detail, the house was constructed in 1890. The porch appears to be of a later date, possibly when “Colonial Revival” was the rage. The “Belgium Block” porch column supports and the smooth wooden columns with Doric capitals seem to imply this. The porch entry has a simple dental molding running along the soffit with corbels flanking the gable end section of the roof. Extensive exterior repairs have been completed with rear shed removed.

Exterior renovations on this two-story ca. 1870 Italianate were completed in 2017. Those renovations include roof, hidden gutters, weatherboard siding, and window repairs, fresh coats of primer and paint, and repointed brick chimneys and foundation. The two-room guesthouse and wood-frame garage on the property have had similar treatment. Inside, the home has been stripped to the studs and is ready for new building systems. An architectural study envisions a center-hall plan with living room, dining room, kitchen and half bath opening from that hall. A one-story wing would make an ideal family room or study with separate entrance. Upstairs, the plans call for three large bedrooms with spacious closets. A master bath and family bath along with a convenient laundry area complete the plan. Those plans are available on request to prospective purchasers.

Constructed before 1888, the house began its life with a center hall plan. A dining room and kitchen were added almost immediately.

The home is ideally located immediately across from Doyle Thomas / Green Street Park.
