It’s “show and tell” time for Chuck Bailey. He’s walking with a friend through his fastidiously renovated Federal Period home—a residence that was built some two centuries ago. Over the course of five years, Chuck painted and repainted, replaced wallpaper and flooring, and paid particular attention to restoring as many of the original details as possible. He’s obviously proud of the results. He should be. The home, exemplifying the artistry of a bygone era, is an absolute classic.
Their Former Glory
“The spirit of nostalgia that exists in an older home is tangible to me,” Chuck says. “I love to restore these homes to their former glory and to make them functional for today’s lifestyles.” He’s done that with a number of properties and always finds the results to be extremely gratifying. It’s Chuck’s way of honoring classic values in craftsmanship—something he also expresses through his love for collecting antiques and screening vintage movies such as It’s a Wonderful Life.
Loving, Respecting, Contributing
Whenever his schedule allows, Chuck delights in moments spent with family and friends. “My basic philosophy of life is that loving and respecting and contributing to the people in your life is all there is,” he reveals. Giving back to the community in which Chuck has lived most of his life is a top priority. And so he’s a strong backer of organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Emmaus, which provides services for seniors. Chuck’s favorite getaway destination is Cherry Island—his spacious island residence for hours of weekend fishing, crabbing, gardening and simply gazing at the surrounding beauty.
