The building has been gutted and is ready for rehab! There is room on the property to build in front or behind the school, as well! Almost 200 feet of road frontage on Parris Bridge Road! Would make a lovely business or home! Would be excellent for a single family home, rental property, mini farm, duplex, triplex, day care, or possibly a church!
