Steeped in history and thoughtfully reimagined, this over-100-year-old former schoolhouse has been lovingly transformed into a one-of-a-kind home. Taken back to the studs, a full renovation and seamless addition were completed in 2022, blending heritage charm with modern comfort and efficiency. Surrounded by large farm properties, the home offers a true country feel perched on 3/4 of an acre. Enjoy peaceful rural living while being just 7 minutes from downtown Thornbury, with schools, shopping, restaurants, coffee, the marina, beach, pier, and Georgian Bay all close at hand.The bright, open-concept main floor is ideal for entertaining and everyday living, featuring a stunning kitchen with a massive island, built-in appliances, and generous storage, flowing into the dining and living areas. A cozy wood stove anchors the living room, adding warmth and character. The main level also includes a primary bedroom with ensuite & walk-in closet, main-floor laundry, and a custom mudroom with built-ins. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully finished 5-piece bathroom. The lower level offers exceptional functionality with a crawl space basement-half with approximately 5-foot clearance for storage, and the original section with 6'5" ceilings and a walk-out, perfect for bikes, lawn equipment, or recreational gear. Outdoors, enjoy fenced vegetable and produce garden beds, a storage shed, and easy access to trails, the Beaver River, and some of the area's most sought-after road and gravel biking routes. Walk to the beloved Blackbird Bakery, a rare and charming country neighbour. Rich in local history yet completely renewed, this home even features the restored original school bell-still working and loved by neighbours. A rare opportunity to own a piece of the past, beautifully updated for modern living. (id:63476)
