We are offering our unique, 1864 Greek Revival, historic home, in the heart of Portage for lease. This home started its rich history as the Carpenters Corners (12 grade) School House, from 1864 to 1924, then from 1924 to 1959 the home served as a residence, being relocated to its present location due to the Southland Mall construction. As soon as you pull in the driveway, you will want to see more. This home is so about, FAMILY!! Offering four bedrooms two and one-half baths, with garage space (to be made available). From the garage, you will walk thru an attached mud room, with plenty of space to take off your snow boots, or sandals. Wood floors throughout. As you walk into the main house, into the kitchen, you will find a double oven for those family gatherings, wonderful cupboard space, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, ceramic cooktop and nice counter bar area, with light pouring into, a nice dining area, and walk-in pantry. There are pull out drawers for storage under the stairs. Next is the 32' x 18' living room with more light pouring into the space. You can see the sunroom next with total windows that lead out to the deck. But before you go outside, circle around to the front formal foyer, with a coat closet, original wooden doors from 1864, and a large area to greet guests. Next is the office, next to that is a very nicely decorated half bath, again bright and cheery, with built in cupboards and drawers. Now you can venture upstairs to four bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom/bathroom area is 32' x 18', with original hardwood floors. There is a floored attic area with ten-foot ceilings for storage. Now let s go outside.

Surrounded by a finished cement decking for plenty of room for your outdoor furniture. On the north end of the pool is a beautiful, bright and cheery, 12' x 16' cabana (the size of a one car garage) for all your entertaining pleasure. The back of the cabana has two doors that swing open allowing for even more entertaining area. At the south end of the pool is a round area for more pool furniture with a nice stone wall. Above that area you will find a grassy area. The backyard is filled with perineal plantings, hasta s, hydrangeas, pine trees, arborvitae, flowers throughout the seasons.
