About this home

This charming masterpiece is the historic Washburn Community Schoolhouse, built in 1915. This brick structure replaced the former one-room wooden building. Serving the local community as its school, it was later closed around 1923 when Bostic School was built. This property has many original features including the hardwood floors, transom windows above the doors, and two original paving stones embedded with Native American arrowheads the students found on the surrounding property. It now boasts 14-inch exposed brick and plaster walls accenting the modern home with elegant history. There are 14-foot ceilings throughout this spacious home. Other finishes include granite countertops, updated appliances, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Enjoy privacy in the backyard featuring an in-ground saltwater pool, timber frame gazebo, firepit area, and spacious deck space.

This charming masterpiece is the historic Washburn Community School house, built in 1915. This brick structure replaced the former one-room wooden building. Serving the local community as its school, Washburn School was later closed around 1923 when Bostic School was built.

The property is loaded with history including original hardwood floors, transom windows above the doors, and two original paving stones imbedded with Native American arrowheads the students found on the surrounding property. Built with hand made brick from the former Bostic Brickyard, it was completely renovated in 2010.
