The original schoolhouse of Lower Merryall, built in 1759. From the moment you step foot on this property, the beauty of the home and grounds will overwhelm you. The home was purchased 7 years ago by furniture makers. The work they have done to bring this antique home into the 21st Century is apparent from the moment you step inside the front door, as the craftsmanship and detail they put into the renovation will blow you away. An open concept first floor, with two sitting areas, a fireplace, and a beautifully done kitchen with an island, concrete countertops, and gas range. The contrast of dark hardwood with the white walls and ceilings gives a warm industrial modern feel to this antique home. Off the back of the home is a large bluestone patio, built to entertain. Through the set of black framed doors you find yourself on a deck with a pergola and framed with black planter boxes, perfect for dining. Just below a casual sitting area complete with L-shaped bench seating and gravel base. Once in the yard, your eyes become fixed on the gorgeous studio, greenhouse, raised beds, shed, and 20+ foot tall bamboo. On the second level of the home, you will find two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, washer and dryer, and a large loft area. This is a truly special home ready for full or part-time residents who love indoor/outdoor country living.
