Here’s your opportunity to own a truly special piece of history, beautifully appointed with tasteful modern flair. A pair of stone pillars—constructed during the Roosevelt-era WPA program—stand at the end of the drive, offering a stately welcome to this remarkable natural stone home, originally built in 1897 as a one-room schoolhouse. The main level showcases soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and deep window sills that bathe the space in natural light. A spacious great room serves as the centerpiece, complemented by two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath featuring double sinks and a tiled walk-in shower. The lower level forms the heart of the home, where a well-designed kitchen offers abundant prep space, ample cabinetry, and new stainless steel appliances. Adjacent dining and family rooms create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining, highlighted by a cozy pellet stove. A convenient half bath and laundry area complete this level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath provide flexible space for guests, family, or a home office. Outside, the property continues to impress. A 32' x 24' detached garage easily accommodates SUVs while offering additional storage. The grounds are rich in character, outlined by historic stone pillar and metal cable fencing, with mature trees framing the expansive front and side yards. Three additional outbuildings provide even more storage and versatility. Set along a quiet township road, this unique property offers peaceful surroundings with easy access to major routes, shopping, and dining. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a scenic weekend retreat, this one-of-a-kind home delivers charm, history, and modern comfort in equal measure.
