Built in 1890

Nestled within the award-winning Schoolcraft School District, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern convenience. Originally built as the one-room Cobb Schoolhouse in the 1890s, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 1999 to create a spacious 3,000 sq ft residence on a stunning 4.68-acre lot. The property, fully fenced by Triple Crown PVC Fencing and Welded Wire Woven Field Fence, provides a peaceful retreat while being just a minute from the freeway, making it ideal for both horse enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.Inside, you'll discover a total of five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including the separate living quarters above the garage.The main house features four bedrooms, with the primary bedroom conveniently located on the main floor, and two full bathrooms. The character of the original schoolhouse shines through, with beautifully preserved hardwood floors and exposed beams adding a timeless charm. The kitchen, with its cozy eat-in area, is the heart of the home, while the spacious living room, warmed by a gas fireplace, invites you to relax in comfort. A bright sunroom offers a serene space to enjoy the natural surroundings, and upstairs, the entire second floor is wrapped in rustic pine tongue and groove paneling, creating a true country retreat. Connected to the home via a breezeway, the attached two-car garage leads to a fully furnished mother-in-law suite above, complete with a bedroom, full bathroom, and open-concept kitchen and living area. This suite brings the total to five bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering privacy and flexibility for extended family, guests, or even rental income. The property's outdoor amenities are equally impressive. A 32x64 ft pole barn, complete with a 12 ft sliding door and a 10 ft overhead door, is perfect for storing an RV or travel trailer. Inside, you'll find cement floors, electricity, and two oversized horse stalls, along with a converted stall that now serves as a heated woodworking or tack room-easily converted
