About This Property
Step into history, reimagined. Once home to Nottawasaga SS #20 (circa 1893), the iconic Batteaux schoolhouse meticulously rebuilt on its original footprint, the exterior recreated to match original dimensions, window spacing, rounded doors and brickwork - the interior is bright, open and designed for modern living. Thoughtfully crafted luxury family living additional suites for family or income (currently 2 short-term suites with municipal approval). Elevated living with 6 full bedrooms and 5+1 baths. Main floor features wide-plank hardwood flooring, open-concept layout, vaulted ceilings gorgeous kitchen, quartz-topped island, side-by-side fridge freezer, built-in double ovens, and walkout to the covered back deck for effortless indoor/outdoor living. The main-floor primary suite and laundry offer easy living. A fully finished lower level includes a large family room, in-floor heat. The studio/bachelor suite is currently used as an Airbnb/short-term rental, offering excellent flexibility for multigenerational living, guests or income potential. Above the attached 3-car garage, a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment (also used as an Airbnb/short-term rental) for extended family, visitors or revenue. Behind the scenes, the home is impressively equipped: separate forced-air propane heating and air conditioning for the schoolhouse and loft/breezeway, radiant in-floor heating in the basement, electric in-floor heating in the ensuite, on-demand hot water with storage tank, air exchangers, and a lower-level bar area roughed in for water, drain, dishwasher and pot lights. Technology and infrastructure are equally robust, with Rogers Ignite fibre, CAT6 wiring throughout, Rogers pods via Ethernet for strong Wi-Fi coverage. Thoughtful nods to the past are everywhere: original schoolhouse pendant lights now hang over the kitchen island, salvaged artifacts, photos and stories donated by the community, keep the legacy of the Batteaux Schoolhouse alive. Minutes to Collingwood.
