Own a piece of history where timeless character meets inspired country living. Originally built in the early 1900s as the local schoolhouse, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting home while preserving the architectural details that make it truly unforgettable. From the moment you arrive, the stately red-brick exterior reflects its proud heritage, including one of its most fascinating original features, separate entrance once designated for boys and girls. These rare preserved details create an immediate sense of authenticity, charm, and connection to the past. Inside, the breathtaking main living space is filled with warmth and natural light. The original hand-hammered tin ceiling adds striking architectural beauty, while beautifully preserved hardwood floors bring richness and character. Impressive ceiling height and oversized windows create an open, airy atmosphere that feels both grand and welcoming. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas blends historic charm with modern functionality, offering an inviting space for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The finished lower level provides flexible living space ideal for guests, recreation, home office use, or multi-generational living. Outdoors, the property becomes a peaceful private retreat. Mature trees, thoughtful landscaping, and a tranquil water feature create a setting designed for relaxation and connection with nature. Enjoy summer days by the pool or gather fresh fruit from an established collection of cherry, pear, plum, apricot, and a mature mulberry tree. Located in the welcoming community of Castleton, just a short drive to Cobourg and Highway 401, this is a rare opportunity to own a home rich in history, character, and heart.
