About this property
Renovated Schoolhouse w/ Piano & Private Deck!
Who said taking a break and going to school had to be mutually exclusive? Perfect for holiday seasons and family gatherings, this 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home in Florence was once the Arnold School and was built in 1889. Now a vacation rental, it features a garden, a fireplace, and blackboards. If you want a field trip, Marion County Lake and Marion Reservoir are just a short drive away for swimming, fishing, and lakeside leisure. Kids of all ages will love this unique retreat!
