Welcome to the Wolf Creek Schoolhouse - a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a cherished piece of local history! Constructed in 1894, this architectural beauty served as a three-room school for the Pickens community until 1952. Once abandoned, but now has been brought back to life - meticulously restored and transformed into a unique, fully custom four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath family home exemplifying both time treasured features from centuries past and the best in modern day craftsmanship for todays lifestyles. The current homeowners have gone to great lengths to maintain the historic character that will make your heart swoon! The original pine floors have been restored while maintaining a few hand-carved doodles left by the school children. 13-Foot ceilings with tongue-and-groove boards salvaged from the original school structure adorn the common living areas. The exterior soffits have original tongue and groove beadboard as well. The entryway showcases double doors reclaimed from another Greenville-area schoolhouse. And the best part?! The bell tower! A lot of love and care went into restoring this bell tower and gives this home a sweet touch of nostalgia! The tower includes the original tin roof that has been repaired and painted and holds the original bell. It is fully operational just as it was in its educational days! Please ring the bell when you come visit! Over the three-year restoration, the current owners not only paid close attention to these lovely historic details, they also invested in modern upgrades that you can see and the ones you cant see - and usually dont get in a historic home! The electrical system has been upgraded with a new panel and completely new wiring. The plumbing system is complete with a new water line from the street and new waste lines installed throughout. Two new HVAC systems have been installed for optimal climate control. And this home is equipped with a new 35-year roof. The modern kitchen has everything your heart desires! Huge windows overlooking an open field where deer graze, a coffee bar with countertops made from reclaimed lumber from the schoolhouse, custom built cabinetry, a handcrafted range hood with brackets from the same era of the home, leathered granite countertops, stainless steel dishwasher, refrigerator, freestanding range/oven and a separate double oven - a bakers dream!! This home is set on a quiet country lot of nearly 2.5 acres. Relax on the covered side porch perfect for rocking the sunset away! Adventure awaits out in the backyard where you will find mountain views, a wonderful workshop and a playhouse in the woods! Blueberry bushes and tea plants have already stamped the landscaping for those who adore gardening and dream of a micro homestead. The location is just minutes from town amenities, a 15-minute drive to Lake Keowee swimming and boat launch, close to hiking trails and 25 minutes to Clemson and Seneca. Dont miss the chance to take it all in and make this old schoolhouse YOUR dream home!
