About this home
A rare piece of history, thoughtfully transformed for modern living! Built in 1880 and once serving as a local schoolhouse, this one of a kind home rests on nearly an acre and offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Tall windows fill the home with natural light, while beautiful woodwork, solid doors, and remarkable attention to detail create warmth and character throughout. A striking iron spiral staircase with gated access leads to the upper level, and a beautiful light fixture now hangs where the original school bell once did, creating a nostalgic centerpiece that honors the home's past. The spacious kitchen features hickory cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room for gathering and meal preparation. The home offers three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a versatile loft, and large walk in closets in two of the bedrooms. Outside, enjoy a three car detached garage with plenty of room for storage or a workshop. The beautiful grounds feature an abundance of perennials and native plants, including bluebells, turtleheads, and fairy potatoes, along with two apple trees, two cherry trees, a mulberry tree, and a blueberry bush. Enjoy peaceful country living with convenient access to Shelbyville, Franklin, Greenwood, and Indianapolis. This truly special property is more than a home. It is a piece of history ready for its next chapter!
