About 2858 N 1700 East Road
Step into a piece of history! Originally built as an old schoolhouse, this one-of-a-kind property has been transformed over the years and is ready for its next chapter. Nestled in a private, country setting, this property offers exceptional privacy and seclusion rarely found. Situated on 1.44 acres, this distinctive home offers incredible character, unique architecture, and endless possibilities. Much of the major work has already been completed, while the unfinished interior provides a rare opportunity for the next owner to customize the finishes and truly make it their own. Currently configured as a 3 bedroom, 1- bath home, the spacious layout offers the potential to expand to a 4 bedroom, 2 bath residence (buyer to verify). Whether you're looking for a unique residence, a restoration project, or a chance to create your dream home, this property offers opportunities that are hard to find. Bring your vision and finish what has already been started!
