Originally constructed in the 1870s as a one-room schoolhouse, this remarkable residence has been thoughtfully transformed into a refined country estate where character and modern design exist in perfect harmony. Set on two parcels totaling 1.95 acres, offering both architectural significance and the luxury of space. The home’s classic silhouette and manicured landscaping hint at its storied past. Beyond, nearly two acres unfold - open lawn, mature trees, and a sense of privacy that feels worlds away. Detached two-car garage with abundant storage and a large shed provide flexibility for hobbies & workshop space. Inside reveals an inspired blend of history and renovation. Sunlight pours through expansive windows into the main living space, illuminating rich hardwood floors and a striking fireplace that serves as a focal point for gathering. Proportions feel gracious yet intimate, an homage to the structure’s original purpose. The kitchen is tailored and inviting, featuring crisp white Kraftmaid cabinetry, custom polished concrete counters, stainless appliances, sculptural lighting, and bold geometric tile backsplash. French doors extend the living space to the wraparound composite deck, creating a seamless connection to the landscape. Bathrooms throughout have been artfully renovated with curated finishes-custom tile work and distinctive fixtures as intentional design rather than basic updates. FIRST FLOOR PRIMARY SUITE offers peaceful retreat, while upstairs bedrooms and flex space w/ bed nook and full bath provide versatility for guests or other uses. Main level laundry enhances convenience. Outdoors, a covered rear deck creates an intimate vantage point over the grounds, ideal for quiet mornings or relaxed evenings. The scale of the property invites possibility: gardens, gatherings, expansion, or simple tranquility of privacy. Rarely does a home so gracefully balance provenance and polish. The next chapter of history, carefully redefined for modern life.
