Originally built in 1861, the charming former Washington Schoolhouse blends timeless character with carefully curated updates. Set on a level, open lot, the grounds are a gardener's delight--featuring established perennials, espalier apple trees, herbs, and a serene water garden with a waterfall; lilies float in the the pond. A garden shed with a skylight for plants and seedlings and a garden water spigot, add both convenience and functionality. Nearby, the spacious, solidly built 2nd shed provides plenty of room to protect a lawn mower, snow blower, miscellaneous tools and a wide variety of recreational items. Inside, the home's original one-room structure now offers open-concept living beneath dramatic ceilings. A freestanding propane Jotyl stove creates a warm, inviting ambiance, while a Murphy bed provides flexible accommodations for guests. A heat pump ensures year-round comfort. Historic details remain beautifully intact, including original hardwood floors and preserved blackboards--quietly echoing the building's past. The custom-designed main-level bath features a soaking tub, antique copper sink, and fixtures, along with subtle glimpses of signatures left by students of another era. The galley-style kitchen is both stylish and practical, showcasing a gleaming copper sink, a Bertazzoni propane range, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry for culinary enthusiasts. Also on the main level are two versatile rooms, ideal for bedrooms, a home office, or creative space--tailored to your needs. The second floor, added within the past decade, serves as a private primary retreat. This spacious sanctuary includes built-in closets, a cozy sitting area, and an adjacent full bath with a walk-in tiled shower. Bordered on three sides by the Jamies Pond Wildlife Management Area--encompassing over 860 acres and
