Caryn Chappelar has lived her entire life in metropolitan areas in Arizona, Florida and Ohio, so her recent move to a 150-year-old building in rural Crofton, Neb., is a real lifestyle change. “I’ve always been a city girl, I grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and have lived in cities in Florida and Arizona. I have never lived in a small community before, much less on a dead-end dirt road,” she said. “The house was a church that was converted into a home in 2001.” The home still features the original church windows and other clues to its original purpose as the Frankfort Township Church, such as a full kitchen and a mammoth-size workshop in the basement, Caryn said. “We’re going to use the basement kitchen for canning,” Caryn said. “My husband, Dan, is just itching to get into that workshop, but he hurt his back when we were moving in, so it will still be awhile until he can do that.” The 6,000 square-foot home sits on two acres with a 1/4-acre garden complete with fruit trees. The main floor features two bedrooms, a formal dining room, kitchen, living room and bathroom. A third bedroom has been converted into a walk-in closet for the master bedroom.
