Have you ever dreamed of living in a historic schoolhouse or a spacious loft? This unique property offers expansive, flexible interiors with soaring ceilings and large windows that fill the space with natural light—ready for you to configure to your vision.

Originally built in 1867 as the Union Free School, the building now serves as a three-season, mixed-use space with residential quarters on the second floor and commercial use on the first. The Essex Cultural and Historical Organization currently leases two rooms on the east side of the main floor.

A central staircase leads from the first-floor foyer to the residential level, which features a loft-style living area, a bright room with abundant windows on the south end, two bedrooms on the north end, and a full bath and kitchen on the west side.

The main floor offers versatile commercial space, including two adjoining rooms on the east side, a large central room with a half bath, and an office, additional half bath, and large room on the west side.

This property is being sold as is. As a registered historic building with an architectural easement, any modifications must be permitted—but the possibilities are vast. Live, work, restore, or reinvent this extraordinary piece of local history.
