Property Description
Historic 1854 Schoolhouse Home – 4015 Bennett Lake Road
Unique opportunity to own a piece of local history. Originally built in 1854 as Riggs School and converted into a residence in the 1950s, this 3-bedroom with additional flex space/office, 2-bath home sits on 1.8 beautifully landscaped acres in the Fenton School District.
This 1,700+ SF home features original hardwood floors, 3-brick thick plaster walls, wood-burning and gas fireplaces, and a thoughtful mix of historic charm and modern updates. The kitchen was remodeled by Linden Kitchen & Bath, and bathrooms include unique vintage elements like a vanity fashioned from an antique sewing cabinet and an upstairs sauna.
The property includes a 2-car garage, chicken coop, tree house, garden/reading shed, nursery, orchard, and manicured landscaping. Recent updates include a new roof, a large sandblasted deck with pavilion, mixed aggregate patio and sidewalk, and 28' arborvitae for added privacy.
Conveniently located near downtown Fenton, this home offers both character and functionality with space to live, garden, and grow. A truly rare find!
