About this home

Step into a truly one-of-a-kind home where history and modern living come together seamlessly. Originally a late 1800s schoolhouse, this unique property was thoughtfully expanded with a substantial two-story addition in the 1970s, offering nearly 3,000 sq. ft. of above-grade living space. The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a bright formal living room with a propane gas fireplace, a cozy family room with vaulted ceilings, and a spacious eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry that flows into the dining area. A versatile main-floor bedroom, full bathroom, dedicated home office, and well-appointed laundry room add convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, many with hardwood flooring and ample closet space, along with a 2-piece bath and potential to expand to a full bathroom. The finished basement offers exceptional additional living space, including a large recreation room with kitchenette, ideal for entertaining or multi-generational living, plus extensive storage and a separate cold cellar. This home is equipped with a geothermal heating and cooling system for efficient year-round comfort, along with 200-amp electrical service, an automatic backup generator, and owned hot water heaters. Set on a picturesque lot with a circular driveway and parking for 8-10 vehicles, the property also features an oversized attached garage, a garden shed (2021), and peaceful outdoor spaces including a front porch, balcony, and patio-perfect for enjoying beautiful west-facing sunsets. Located within easy driving distance to Kitchener-Waterloo and Stratford, this property offers space, character, and endless potential in a serene rural setting. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history with room to make it your own. (id:65958)
