The property remained a functioning School House until 1961 with so much history since it was built in 1859. Enter through the side entrance and feel like you stepped into a time capsule with this unique stone school house overlooking an acre of land mainly out back. You'll notice artifacts from the past including a little fountain and bathroom, complete with urinal. Stepping into the house, you are met my an absolutely humongous great room with spectacular, high ceilings, gorgeous exposed stone walls, wide plank hardwoods and heated by a cast iron stove. The northeast wall of the great room is all stone. This was the original schoolhouse's classroom area. It is one of the few original school houses with a Bell Tower and was known as The Gardenville Schoolhouse. There are stairs to an unfinished area upstairs where the bell is located. Leaving the great room, you pass through a hallway into a fair-sized kitchen with wood cabinets, laminate floors, that is looking for your finishing touches. Three more bedrooms and a hall bath round out this property oozing with potential. Full basement downstairs. Property in need of a good deal of rehab. Home was previously used as a Mini Daycare. Check with Plumstead Township for at-home/business uses and any other possibilities whether historical or build-out/new build.
