Lynchburg, Virginia — Green Home For Sale

Listing ID: 19126

Property Description

This home vividly demonstrates what can be done with just a 35' x 126' city lot. The original home was built in 1882 using the then popular “balloon” framing technique. It was completely renovated – inside and out in 2007-8. It is an “all new recycled home” with a very secluded and private backyard and patio located within walking distance from downtown and just a block from the Garland Hill historic district. All renovations were city inspected and done to code. Some of the less obvious include: a 200 amp electrical system, a new high efficiency furnace, a new high efficiency air conditioner, programmable thermostat, new vinyl siding, new appliances, a new hot water heater, all new low-e windows & doors, all walls - exterior & interior - fully insulated, and low flush toilets. There is also a 10' x 12' air conditioned artist’s studio with loft & water, 8' x 10' workshop/toolshed, and a 4' x 8' garden shed
The interior is charming with decorator colors, refinished wood floors, plush carpeting in both bedrooms, chandeliers; gas log fireplaces with original mantels in the living room and master bedroom; large closets; large spa master bath with 2 sinks, corner shower, clawfoot soaking tub, & 2 closets; a vegetarian kitchen with a door wall containing enclosed Venetian blinds to the patio, smooth top range, Corian countertops; comfortable dining room; guest bedroom with half bath; and a nice foyer entrance with hand made leaded glass transom window.
This home has the original “recycled” trim and mantels, tin roof, frame, wood floors, and claw foot tub. All were retained and refurbished. The new interior & exterior insulation and loE windows keep the utilities modest and add to privacy between rooms.
Just off the beautifully landscaped paved patio are the organic fruit trees, berries, and vegetable garden that use water from a rain barrel. Further reducing the carbon footprint, the downtown location makes a car optional, with a bus stop at the nearest corner, and a health clinic just 2 blocks away.
