This 1891 schoolhouse in Erin is a rare offering, blending over 130 years of history with a full-scale restoration completed in 2020. Originally a one-room school for grades 1–8, the home has been fully gutted and rebuilt, preserving its historic charm while delivering modern comfort and structural integrity. The exterior showcases restored red brick, a functional rooftop school bell, and three stone patios at the front, side, and rear—ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings. Original “Boys” and “Girls” entrances remain as a nod to the home’s past. Inside, the open-concept main floor features 9-ft ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a striking stone propane fireplace that anchors the space. The kitchen is designed for entertaining with white cabinetry, quartz counters, a large grey quartz island with seating for four, stainless steel appliances including a propane stove, and double wall ovens. A mudroom with wrought iron gate provides practical access to the backyard. Upstairs, six skylights flood the space with natural light, highlighting a versatile loft. The primary suite offers a remote-controlled skylight, walk-in closet, and private ensuite. All bathrooms feature heated floors, custom tile, and individual touch-control HVAC systems. Major upgrades include an owned tankless water heater, UV filtration system, new foundation and structural supports, energy-efficient windows, and a full-home Generac generator ($20,000 value), offering peace of mind year-round. Located in a close-knit community known for its skating rink, line dancing, Halloween events. Just 10 mins to Hillsburgh, 20 mins to Orangeville, Fergus, Acton & Rockwood, 30 mins to Elora & Guelph, and 1 hour to Oakville. A truly unique blend of history and modern living. (id:58067)
