This property was once the Spencer School House. If you are looking for character and history, this is the place for you. Step back in time with the high ceilings and original wood floors. This home has so much to offer. There are two large master bedrooms and the original stove which has 6 burners, double ovens, a broiling rack and griddle. The original auditorium has been reduced in size but still has space for a pool table, foosball table, tennis table, air hocky table, basketball goal, a California Speed arcade game, and a pot-belly stove, all staying with the house if wanted. Square footage includes a guest house with a separate entrance. It has two bedrooms and one bath, great for overnight guests or as a rental for extra income. This property would be great for a family or as a venue for special events.
