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! From the covered front porch the very spacious living room, currently being used as a schoolroom, welcomes you into the home and the open floorplan of the main living space. Cross through a sitting or breakfast area and enter the open dining area and kitchen (stove will be installed after binding) that offers wooden butcher block counters and access to the covered back porch. Down the hallway you will find a very spacious bedroom to your left, an open office that can also be access off the living room, half bath that can easily be restored to its once full bath, a 2nd bedroom that is currently being used as a green room that has another large room off it that would be perfect for another office. 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.
