PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
This is a very unique property.  Originally built in 1926 as a two story, two room school building.   Located in an old fashioned community of 100 people.  The building has been converted on the first floor to a 2 bedroom home.  The second story is the original school setting complete with old fashioned slate chalk boards on the walls, and the original cloak room.   All original hardwood flooring is intact through out.  

The 30 x 40 foot main class room area upstairs would be perfect for a home based business, work area or could be restored for extra living space.  All ceilings are 10 1/2 feet tall and all rooms have huge ft x ft windows.   The downstairs windows are replacement energy efficient windows.


The stairway is oversized, approximately 5 feet wide, with original woodwork.

The exterior has been sided, but still has original oak tongue and groove siding underneath.

The downstairs living area has 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, office area, foyer, utility room, very large recently remodeled bathroom. The old boys bathroom is still intact and used for additional  storage.  (Yes, this means it has the urinals in the wall). 

Heat is from wall mounted propane heaters, provides plenty of heat and 99% efficient.

City water not a well, this home has a new septic system. A recently added 8 x 16 deck. 2 yr old 10 x 12 foot garden shed, trees, nice level lot, partially fenced.

The area is a safe and quiet rural setting.  There is a very real sense of community in West York.  The neighbors are very friendly and helpful.  West York has a town Christmas Party, everyone in attendance has a visit from Santa.

Children ride the bus to school are picked up in front of their home. The school in neighboring Hutsonville.  Average class size 20 children or less. 

Owners are willing to negotiate for items useful to this home, including oversized Christmas tree, 10 ft step ladder and portable scaffolding.

The owner is very reluctant to leave this quaint community and this very unusual home, but must relocate for family reasons.

This home must be seen to be appreciated.
