Some properties have a past. This one brings it into the present in all the best ways. Once a working schoolhouse, this red brick beauty still carries the charm & character of its earliest days, the original date stone on the main gable, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, a raised teachers' platform, & even a few graffiti-covered posts from generations of schoolkids. But don't mistake character for compromise. Inside, the open-concept main floor is full of light & life. The original classroom space is now an inviting living area with a woodstove, hardwood floors, & an open line of sight to the entryway & staircase. Upstairs, you'll find a full bath, three bedrooms, including a standout bedroom with three walls of windows that frame long views of rolling countryside. On the lower level, three more bedrooms & a second full bath, give you flexibility whether for guests, family, or creative space with in-floor heat for added comfort. The updates are already done, and they're the kind that matter: a steel roof, new steel soffits and gutters, WETT-certified woodstove, high-efficiency propane furnace & heat pump/AC, septic, smart lock & thermostats, EV charging outlet, & more. Outside, the 0.65 acre lot is framed by mature sugar maples & thoughtfully landscaped with flowering bushes, hostas, daffodils, and newly planted Hicks Yews lining the drive. The boulders that form the retaining walls and driveway edges, salvaged from the garage and septic upgrades, a nod to the kind of care that's gone into every decision here. The sunsets off the back deck are worth pausing for every time. And when you're ready for a change of scenery, you're minutes to Thornbury, Meaford, Owen Sound, Kimberley, Beaver Valley Ski Club, and the Bruce Trail with beaches, skiing, dining, and shopping all close enough to keep life interesting. Not all schoolhouses are created equal. This one proves it.
