Description
The former Columbian School at the Depot, located in the quaint hamlet of Fitzwilliam, offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern living. The inside features include soaring ceilings, beautiful wood floors throughout, and tall windows that were ideal for classrooms in the past and are equally perfect for living spaces today. The school originally served the children of stonecutters working at the nearby quarry, a piece of history that adds to the property's charm. More details about the school's history can be found in old town school reports and Richard West's book, "The Story of Fitzwilliam." The 1292 sq ft first floor unit is currently tenant occupied, has hot water heat and an enlarged modern wood pellet stove. The 1,802 sq ft 2nd & 3rd floor unit is vacant. It is heated by a large wood stove and electric baseboard heat. The full bath has a Jacuzzi tub. There is a newer boiler, two newer hot water heaters and separate utilities. The newly painted exterior is guaranteed until October 2025. There is a 14-gauge standing seam metal roof, newer chimney, 120-ft artesian well with newly upgraded pump and controls. For those interested in owning a piece of history while investing in real estate, this two-family home offers the potential for regular rental income and long-term value appreciation.
