This quaint 1890s schoolhouse has just had a complete, head-to-toe renovation. Taken down to its solid frame it has been rebuilt and updated, still retaining its schoolhouse charm. It’s refreshing to see a renovation done right. Located in a quiet, little traveled corner of Cochecton township, students of all ages would have gathered here to be taught by a single teacher. Entering the home through to the living room, the exposed beams and 17.5’ are the first things to striking things a visitor notices. The new oak floors run throughout the home. The propane fireplace adds a nice splash of color and will work along the new heat pump to keep the whole house warm in winter. The school was thoroughly insulated, so it’s now tight and draft-free. Every window is new. There is a great space for a dining table. The nifty pass-through to the thoroughly modern kitchen was a great addition. There is even room for a couple stools in the living area. Attractive quartz counter tops and tiled backsplash complement the new cabinetry. Gleaming new stainless-steel appliances round out a great space to put your chef on. High ceilings really make this a comfortable space. There is a pantry and still room for a eat-in kitchen table. The two bedrooms are amply sized and airy, with nice light and ceiling fans. The central a/c will keep them pleasant even through the muggiest summer day. The laundry room has two large front loaders already in place. The bathroom is tastefully done with a walk in shower lined with subway tile and a contrasting herringbone on the floor. The floating mahogany vanity provides some color and warmth. There is a mudroom off the back that can be an office or den. It’s fully insulated and heated, so is a very flexible space. Just out that door is the one-car garage - a huge plus in winter. There are also a series of rooms that could be made into a sweet guest room. A big wood stove is already in place. There is more storage for garden items in the back too. Really everything is new here: electrical service and wiring, plumbing, metal roof, the septic system, the wood siding. So expect a very easily maintained former schoolhouse to be a great place to weekend or live full time. Additional Information: ParkingFeatures:1 Car Detached,
