Property Description
Formerly the Winkler School, this substantial building offers nearly 14,000 square feet of interior space on approximately five acres, constructed in the solid, durable style typical of mid-20th-century institutional architecture. Originally built to serve an educational purpose, the structure was later adapted for residential use, resulting in a property defined by scale, volume, and flexibility rather than traditional floor-plan conventions. The expansive interior includes multiple bedrooms and baths along with a variety of large rooms suitable for living, working, or creative use. The layout reflects its origins, providing an opportunity for a buyer with vision to reimagine the space for modern residential living, a compound-style home, or another adaptive use consistent with its character. While the property would benefit from updating and refinement, it presents a rare chance to acquire a distinctive building where size, privacy, and adaptability are central features.
