Welcome to 309 E. Ziebarth Road, a rare and extraordinary property located in rural north Normal, Illinois. Nestled on a picturesque 1-acre corner lot, this ranch-style home is steeped in rich history, having originally served as the Harmony School, a one-room schoolhouse, until the 1930s when it was thoughtfully converted into a private residence. Offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern comforts, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same owners since the 1970s and has only transferred ownership three times since its residential conversion-an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers. The spacious interior features 3 bedrooms, with the potential to easily create a 4th bedroom by dividing the expansive main bedroom. There are 2 full bathrooms, providing ample convenience for family and guests. The main level boasts a cozy eat-in kitchen with a pantry closet, and a generous family room highlighted by a gas-log fireplace with a masonry surround and raised hearth-perfect for gathering and relaxing. A large basement provides abundant storage space and includes a finished den, ideal for additional living or office space. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, with two decks offering tranquil spots to enjoy the lush, tree-lined surroundings. The attached heated 2-car garage includes a freezer and workbench, while a detached oversized 1-car garage provides even more versatility and storage options. The property operates on a private well water system and septic system, adding to its rural charm and independence. Set amidst mature trees and expansive green space, this property invites you to embrace country living with ample room for gardening, recreation, or simply unwinding in a serene environment. With its historical significance, meticulous upkeep, and unmatched character, 309 E. Ziebarth Road presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly special and distinctive home. Don't miss your chance to make this rare gem your own! Offers are due at 4pm in 1/7 and will be reviewed after 6pm.
