About this home
Rich with history and unlike anything else on the market, this truly unique Carlisle Township home began its story as an 1886 schoolhouse. Beautifully converted for modern living while retaining its original character, the home offers 1,818 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a half-acre setting surrounded by farmland, and an oversized 3-car garage, plus income-producing potential. Step through the impressive 8-foot front doors and experience the character of this all-brick former schoolhouse, fully renovated and converted into a single-family home in 2008. The renovation preserved its historic charm while adding modern functionality, including all-new plumbing and an updated 200-amp electrical service. The family room features soaring 11-foot ceilings, enhancing the home's open, distinctive feel. All 3 bedrooms are upstairs, including a spacious primary suite, with one full bath upstairs and another on the main level. Since 2020, the owners have remodeled both bathrooms, added fresh neutral paint and modern fixtures, replaced the roof and hot water tank in 2021, and replaced the washer and dryer in 2025. The large 3-car garage features 50-amp electrical service. The 2-car section of the garage is drywalled and insulated, with a bonus 10x15 workshop extension and walk-up attic. A large covered patio attached to the garage overlooks the peaceful backyard and surrounding farmland. Adding another dimension to the property is its current use as an income-producing Airbnb. Future reservations are already booked and may be kept or canceled based on the purchaser's preference, with financial records available upon request. The home can be sold fully furnished, creating the potential for a turnkey investment or move-in ready owner-occupied home. Located in the Keystone School District, this special property brings together 1886 history, thoughtful updates, rural surroundings, and versatility. The seller is providing a one-year Home Warranty for the buyer's peace of mind.
