Come see The Hertzog School house that combines character, charm and functionality! Lets talk functionality first. The first floor bedroom is sizeable and can accommodate a queen size bed. The full bath is also on this floor. The laundry room is currently in this full bathroom. The washer and dryer could easily be moved to the upstairs bathroom where it was previously. The half bath upstairs is large enough to add a stand up shower. The upstairs bedroom is very sizeable and could easily also be a sitting room or office. The roof was replaced in 2021, new water heater was installed in 2020, gutters were replaced in 2019. The detached 2 car garage features storage on the second floor. Brand new holding tanks were installed in 2020. The owners spared no expense adding 2 1500 gallon tanks with an alarm system when the tanks reach 70% capacity. The current family of 4 have had the tanks pumped approximately every 6 months, the pumping cost for both tanks is approximately $250 in total.The character of the home is evident through the abundant natural light coming through the deep tall window sills The exposed stone through the first floor is spectacular and is highlighted by the over 11ft ceilings. Original pine flooring is highlighted by a raise area that was the teacher stage giving access to the wall to wall chalk board. The modern updated kitchen is a perfect highlight to all of this character. Enjoy your stainless steel appliances and upgraded wood cabinets while soaking in the surrounding old age charm.The school bell has been retired to make way for the roof, it is still in-tact and will transfer to the new owners. You must come see this home for yourself to experience its uniqueness.
