Description
Known as the Lillian Long Kernodle House, this circa-1912 Craftsman carries more than a century of Burlington history. Lillian was deeply involved in civic, historical and preservation work throughout her life. A longtime member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, she served as North Carolina State Regent and later as a National Vice President General. She also served on the board of the Historical Restoration Association of North Carolina, was a member of the Caswell Historical Comm. and the North Carolina Antiquity Society, and maintained a lifelong connection to Alamance Battleground and its preservation. Her community involvement earned her recognition as Alamance County's "Woman of the Year" and "Mother of the Year." Her ties to local history were personal as well as civic. Her father participated in the 1880 dedication of the monument at Alamance Battleground, and Lillian later lived to see members of her own family take part in the dedication of the Battleground and museum as a state historic site.Fittingly, her former home became part of Burlington's preservation story as well, receiving the Minetree Pyne Preservation Award in 2015. This is a home with a story worth carrying forward, in a part of Burlington where history is still very much part of the neighborhood. The house sits on a 0.31-acre tree-covered corner lot with a broad covered front porch, exposed rafter details and tapered columns. Inside are hardwood floors, substantial trim, multi-light windows, a fireplace, French doors and built-in storage. Large windows bring in natural light and frame views of the surrounding trees. The kitchen has beadboard walls and ceiling, granite countertops, stainless appliances and a gas stove, with a separate laundry room just beyond. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan includes a main-level primary bedroom with a walk-in shower, while the second bath keeps more of the home's early character with an original freestanding cast-iron tub. Out back, the fully fenced yard includes a patio and detached storage building, with space for gardening, pets or play. Willowbrook Arboretum is less than a quarter mile away and Historic Downtown Burlington is less than a mile from the front door. Come see the details that have lasted, the updates that make the home easy to live in and a setting that keeps some of Burlington's best-known places close by.
