A c.1930 Schoolhouse Near Swinging Bridge Reservoir: $559K

  |  October 16, 2024

This charming, renovated, c.1930 schoolhouse is across the street from Swinging Bridge Reservoir in Monticello.

In fact, the schoolhouse replaced an original 1835 structure that the reservoir submerged. Over the past 95 years, this building became a single-family home and is currently cute as a button.  We love the coordinating colors on the porch, door, and shutters, and the open portico.

Lots of woodwork fills the foyer.

The kitchen, too, has pine wainscoting.

It’s bright and airy, with a two-seat breakfast bar, granite counters, and stainless-steel-and-black appliances.

The dining room has a big picture window framed by two sash windows.

The living room has the same; each room also has a pine-wainscoted accent wall.

An electric fireplace provides heat and ambiance.

Both bedrooms are behind louvered doors, just off the living room.

This bedroom has sliders out to the large deck, and built-in closets and drawers.

The bathroom has a beige-tiled tub/shower. The same tile runs halfway up the walls and covers the floor. The house also has a half-bath.

The second bedroom has two large windows and a closet.

The multi-level deck has plenty of entertaining and relaxing space.

The 1,080-square-foot house sits on two acres with rolling lawns and mature trees.
