Transformation of school built in 1908 to a home is beyond amazing. Now it’s for sale
On the outside, the visage of this large residence for sale in Latah, Washington, for $699,000 looks like a typical brick preparatory – which makes the interior so surprising.
The 15,880-square-foot property was once a schoolhouse, built in 1908, the listing on Realtor.com say, but has since been converted into a five-bedroom, six-bathroom home. And the transformation is nothing short of amazing.
“It sat vacant for about 60 years before it went through its conversion,” listing agent Connie Newman told Realtor.
“When you first walk into the property, you go through an exterior corbeled arch and a staircase that takes you up to the main level. The original brick labeling that says ‘Public School’ is right above that arch; so you feel like you’re walking into a school building, which is very cool.”
The historic building, which is described as “characteristic” by the listing, sits on 1.43 acres and has a phenomenal view of the Washington landscape. There’s also a wide variety of amenities, which include:
Dramatic high ceilings
8,700 square feet of living space
Corbeled arches
“Original fir floors”
Two family rooms
Additional bonus rooms
Full basement
Four-car garage
And yes, the gym still looks like a school gym, but it works with the stylish flow of the inside.
The listing is held by Professional Realty Services.
Latah is about 35 miles south of Spokane.
