Property Description
School is in session! Own a piece of history with the Whitethorn Schoolhouse, an 1850s schoolhouse converted to a charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence perched atop Whites Hill. Set on 1.93 acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers breathtaking views for miles, beautiful sunrises, spectacular sunsets, and a park-like yard. A pond adds to the setting and attracts deer, rabbits, eagles, and an abundance of birds, along with frogs, toads, tadpoles, and the occasional turtle. Copper gutters add a distinctive touch, while the 1-car barn-style garage provides storage. Whether you're seeking a full-time home, weekend retreat, or short-term rental/VRBO opportunity, this property offers endless possibilities.
