Welcome to the Johnson-Lindsey House, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chesapeake City’s history. Located in the heart of the Historic District, this Federal-style home was built around 1850 by Joseph W. Lindsey, the town’s sawmill and lumber yard owner. Zoned Village Center (VC), the property offers incredible flexibility for residential or commercial use, making it ideal for those looking to blend history with modern living or business potential. Situated along the route of Chesapeake City’s beloved parades and festivals, it’s just a short walk to waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and local attractions. This charming home exudes character with its classic wood-sided Federal-style architecture and distinctive bump-out picture windows on the south side. The original cast and wrought iron fence still encloses the front courtyard, a space once adorned with a porch. With historic approval already granted, a new owner has the option to restore this feature. The front entrance welcomes you with intact stained glass and an old-style door ringer, setting the tone for the timeless beauty within. Inside, the home showcases original hardwood flooring, tall wood windows with storm covers, and six-inch floor moldings. The light-filled foyer leads into a spacious family room with floor-to-ceiling windows and an electric fireplace wired for propane. From there, the dining room offers built-in cabinetry and access to a covered side porch. The remodeled kitchen seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern updates, featuring Quartz Silestone countertops, Italian subway tile, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a new sink, stainless steel appliances, and professionally painted cabinets. Off the kitchen, a remodeled powder room and an enclosed laundry room with an antique sink provide added convenience. The second level offers a generously sized primary suite with a fully remodeled bath, including a tile walk-in shower and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Two additional bedrooms on this floor provide space for guests, family, or a potential additional full bath if desired. The third level features two more bedrooms, one currently used as storage, with ample space to add a third full bath. The backyard is a hidden retreat, offering a courtyard-style space with a side porch, a brick side patio, and a rear brick patio leading to the detached two-car garage. Very few homes in town offer garage parking, making this a rare and valuable feature. With electricity, a concrete floor, and a propane heating element, the garage could easily be transformed into a carriage house, Airbnb rental, or business space. A parking pad allows for two additional vehicles, making this property one of the few in the historic district with a backyard backing to woods and extra off-street parking. This home has been meticulously maintained with a series of updates, including five new mini-split heating and cooling units installed in 2024, along with a new storm door, professionally painted kitchen cabinets, and new ceiling fans. Recent improvements also include luxury vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and primary bath, updated carpeting on the stairs and upper hallway, a new furnace, oil tank, and hot water heater, as well as professional interior painting. The main architectural shingle roof was replaced in 2019 with a 30-year warranty. The Johnson-Lindsey House has been featured on the Candlelight Tour and is prominently displayed on the cover of the Chesapeake City town map. Annual grant opportunities through the Maryland Historic Trust provide additional incentives for restoration and improvements. Whether you're looking for a distinctive home, a commercial opportunity, or a combination of both, this historic gem is truly one of a kind.
