OPEN HOUSE Sunday 6/28 from 2-4pm. A rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying the comforts of country living. Situated on a beautiful rolling 1.5-acre lot, this 2,148-square-foot home is accompanied by a charming circa-1886 brick schoolhouse, adding approximately 845 square feet of historic character and endless potential. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a flexible floor plan designed to fit a variety of lifestyles. A bright and inviting four-season room showcases picturesque views of the property and fills the home with natural light. Multiple living spaces provide room to spread out, including a second living area that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or recreation room. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a walk-in closet and updated bath featuring a tiled shower. At the heart of the home, the spacious dining room is highlighted by a brick wood-burning fireplace with Heatilator, built-in bookshelves, and enough versatility to function as an additional living area. The adjacent family room overlooks the fully fenced yard and connects seamlessly to the kitchen. Outdoor amenities make this property ideal for hobby farmers, horse enthusiasts, or anyone seeking extra space. The attached two-car garage, brand-new 24' x 12' storage shed, and impressive 45' x 20' outbuilding with horse stalls and hay storage provide abundant room for equipment, animals, and recreational vehicles. A chicken coop/tool shed and above-ground pool are also included. The historic 1886 brick schoolhouse remains structurally sound on the exterior and is ready for restoration, offering endless possibilities as a workshop, studio, event space, guest retreat, or showcase piece of local history. Major updates include a one-year-old furnace and central air system, along with a roof that is approximately 10 years old. Properties offering this combination of acreage, outbuildings, historical significance, and future potential are exceptionally rare. Bring your imagination and make this one-of-a-kind property your own.
