Ding, ding, ding - school is in session, but this former schoolhouse has now become the kind of home you'll never want to leave. Charming and historic, this 1,400 sq ft gem in Reese schools has been thoughtfully converted into a 2-bedroom home that feels equal parts nostalgic and fresh. Set on a unique 1-acre corner lot at 81 and Garner, it offers room to spread out with plenty of parking, garden area, cement pad, and the perk of quicker commutes. A welcoming accessible ramp leads you to the covered front porch, where a swing waits for quiet evenings. Step inside and you're greeted by soaring 9-foot ceilings, an open living and dining space that still carries the spirit of its one-room schoolhouse past, and original wood floors glowing with character beneath a milk-globe pendant light. Sliding barn doors reveal two cozy bedrooms - the primary with a roomy closet and even a convenient laundry nook. The updated kitchen and bathroom addition bring modern ease with sleek cabinetry, pantry cabinet, a gas range, industrial-style pendant lighting, and walk-in shower with glass door in the bathroom. Practical updates keep comfort in check, too, like the energy-efficient Trane furnace installed in 2024. Outside, a large, covered deck lets you enjoy the seasons rain or shine, while the one-car garage with electricity adds bonus storage and snow-free windshields in winter. Add in natural gas and Spectrum internet, and you've got all the right extras to balance old-school charm with modern living- available for immediate occupancy!
