139 Schoolhouse Road

OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY!!!!! The original structure is believed to have been built in roughly 1880, but County tax records in the area only calculate back to 1968. This Southern Belle is 1644 sf and features 3 Bedrooms, 1 full and 2 half-baths. Many changes and updates from the original structure bring it to its current condition. True to its origin, the 10' ceilings, tall windows, and grand front porch call back to the days of old. A wood-burning stove in the front room provides cozy winter retreat and a second wood stove heats the large kitchen/sunroom on the back side of the house. The home sits on a generous 1.7 acre corner lot in the Township of Dorchester. Easy access to Hwy 78 and Hwy 178 make this a perfect location to call home!The home had a new roof installed in 2023 and plumbing and electrical updates in 2010; HVAC was replaced in 2019. Termite Bond has been in place since 1979. A Rooftop Deck overlooks the huge backyard, shaded by an ancient poplar tree. The detached storage shed and covered carport convey with the property and can be used for storage or work-shop areas. There is also a handicap ramp in place allowing wheelchair access to the front porch. The home does need cosmetic and (potentially structural) updates. Ideally, a buyer who could restore it to its former glory would reap the benefit of this charming bit of history. Tongue and groove bead-board and lots of hidden treasures lie just beneath the surface of this old beauty. Call to Schedule your showing today!
