Description

This property was formerly Grant School and has since been repurposed as a residence, offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern functionality. The lower level features two large bathrooms, a living room, five bedrooms, an office, two additional storage rooms, a kitchen, and a spacious unused classroom. Additionally, there is a separate area that could be converted into a two-bedroom apartment. The second story has been cleaned out but is currently unused. Most of the old classrooms, complete with chalkboards, remain largely intact. However, much of the flooring has been removed, and some ceiling tiles are missing. This space has potential for storage, offices, additional housing, or even storage units, subject to local municipal approval. Heaters remain in the classrooms, though the boiler has been removed. The seller believes this space is not currently heated, though they note it stays cool when the downstairs air conditioning is running. Buyers should independently verify all details. A large parking lot surrounds three sides of the building, and a spacious grass lot to the east is included in the sale. Limited details are available on the property card, so square footage and lot dimensions are estimates. The property currently has one parcel number, though records indicate the area was originally divided into ten lots. Pre-approval and cash verification are required for showings. This property is priced for a quick sale—don’t miss out! Call today!
