This 1856 building once was the schoolhouse for the children in West Cornwall.  After closing in 1911, the building was converted into a charming 2-bedroom/1 bath bungalow and for many years was the weekend residence of Nobel Laureate Peyton Rous.  About 10 years ago the current owner did a total renovation and installed new wiring, plumbing, heat, fixtures, roof, insulation, thermo-pane windows, etc.   High ceilings and windows combine with white clapboard and a metal roof to give this classic look a modern feel. One enters into the foyer, kitchen and dining area with radiant heated concrete floors.  The kitchen has a generous space for dining. This opens into the double sized living room with beautifully finished hardwood floors, high ceilings and wonderful painted woodwork along the walls. The living room opens to the large covered porch perfect to sit on and watch the day go by. There are two nice size bedrooms with wide board wood floors.   It is sited on 1 open and level acre with a new (2015) oversized barn-like garage with metal roof to match the house.  There is also a large laundry room and utility closet for extra storage. A more perfect get away you cannot find in the Heart of Cornwall. Lots of nearby activities:   the private town beach at Cream Hill Lake, skiing at Mohawk Mountain, fishing along the river, hiking in Mohawk State Park, dining at one of the area's famed restaurants. Less than 2 hours from Manhattan and nearby to metro north.
