Originally built as a one-room schoolhouse in 1837, this beautifully preserved piece of history has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming country retreat. Rich with character, featuring exposed beams, wide-plank wood floors, a stone fireplace, pellet stove, and an open-concept living space that celebrates its historic roots. While preserving its timeless appeal, the property has also been updated for modern living, including a striking green metal roof that offers exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind for years to come. Set on a beautifully landscaped .31-acre lot abutting woodlands, the property offers a peaceful setting complete with a firepit, white picket fencing, multiple outbuildings, and the kind of character and craftsmanship that simply can’t be replicated. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a unique historic property, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history!
