This classic schoolhouse was built in 1934.  It still has that vintage charm, and we have filled the apartments with turn of the century inspired furniture and decor, yet adding modern conveniences.  Many of the items date back to its use as a elementary school.  Our goal is to make it as warm, welcoming, and comfortable as possible.  We have a pool, full gymnasium with sports equipment, workout area with a Peloton (bring your own cycling shoes), free weights, and ping pong.  There is a fire pit, big lawn, and fort area for the kids to play on.

Pros:  

  • Spacious rooms with lots of seating
  • Comfy furniture
  • High ceilings
  • Classic architecture
  • Plenty of photo locations
  • Quiet country setting
  • Pool
  • 2 Full kitchens with pots, pans, and cooking utensils, plus a kitchenette
  • Exceptional coffee areas with Moccamaster coffee pour over machines, coffee and tea
  • Full gym with sports equipment
  • Fort and lawn for kids to play on
  • Nice large sitting areas to relax in
  • Garden and landscaping
  • 4 miles from Massillon, restaurants, museums and stores
  • Close to Massillon Rec Center for an Olympic sized pool
  • Close to bike and hike trails along the river
  • Plenty of Amish farm stores, furniture shops, thrifting and antiquing
  • Lots of bats to watch in the summer
  • Laundry facilities including a steamer and ironing boards
  • Wifi
  • Smart TV with HBO, Netflix, Apple TV, Broadway HD, Peloton and free Roku channels
  • EV Chargers
  • Piano

Cons:

  • Old HVAC system that has a mind of its own
  • 2nd story requires stair climbing
  • Vintage school has old bricks/flooring/plaster - it's not pristine and new looking, which is part of its charm
  • Furniture is vintage and antique with dings and flaws - so please be nice to it
  • Downstairs bathroom is not in the apartment but it IS private
  • Bats, if you are scared of bats (they won't get into contact with you)
  • Various wildlife like skunks, insects, frogs
  • Owner has parrots and dogs which will make noise
  • You may run into the owners in the common areas of the hallways, gym, pool, yard and landings
  • Upstairs apartment couch is down filled - so it may trigger allergies
Mark grew up in this area, and when we found this vintage school for sale, we had to buy it. It lured us with its solidly built romantic charms. Now we hope to share it with other people who will appreciate its well built and warm nature.
