Located in quiet historic Fernwood, MS, (less than 4 miles from Percy Quin State Park) this beautiful >100 year old property has been completely updated and renovated by local craftsman, John Chisholm. The exterior siding was removed, the walls repaired & insulated, then covered with OSB sheeting & house wrap, and finally re-covered with a combination of hardi plank siding and true wood board and batten in keeping with the original siding that was uncovered during renovation. The all-electric home also has new appliances (refrigerator, range, dishwasher), new HVAC, as well as new bathrooms and plumbing. The flooring we uncovered was real wood, of course, but unusable. So we replaced it with real 3/4 in. acacia wood. All old single pane windows were removed and replaced with new insulated windows. Wiring was brought up to code and new wire added where needed. Covered parking is provided for protection from the elements and dry trips from the car on rainy days. The roofline was streamlined and the new metal roofing insures many years of practically maintenance free protection. The 30x15 great room is perfect for entertaining. A large pantry and dedicated laundry room are conveniently located right behind the kitchen wall. The 15x12 primary bedroom has its own ensuite bath. The other two bedrooms are spacious as well at 9.5x15.5 and 12.5x13 respectively. The 9x6 hall bath is conveniently located for both occupants and company. The home is 1400 sq ft, and was redesigned so that every foot is in practical use. It is located on a large corner lot, and is bordered by a privacy fence across the back and historic trees along the left. This peaceful neighborhood can be enjoyed from your newly constructed 6x24 front porch. Both foot and vehicle traffic are rare and the neighbors are what neighbors should be: established and kind and looking after one another. During the 2.5 years we took to renovate this beautiful lady, we realized that Fernwood is a hidden gem of a community.
