This property was built in 1845 with features you will not see today, like the dome shaped rafters in the attic that could be exposed above the dining area. Hard to find double lot of 1.17 acres of level land upon which sits the home, a storage building with power, a fenced area with Koi pond, a vegetable garden and even a chicken coop all make this place special!

The full bathroom is also located off the hallway. At the end of the hall you will enter the owner's bedroom where the laundry is located and also a window lined sitting room overlooking the Koi pond with a waterfall that is perfect so sit and listen to it at the end of the day.  This home is located in the heart of Nelson and is Walking distance to City of Nelson park, baseball fields & basketball courts.  From 1907 to 1922 this property was a schoolhouse with 60 some students, since then it has been a theater, a boarding house, a church, back to a schoolhouse, and now is ready to be your home.
