This private 1-acre setting has an expansive 264-foot frontage on the Fifth Line and the corner lot borders Sideroad 27 to the north. In 1861 the May School was built on this very lot and after 100 years of local education it was removed when Ross R. Mackay school opened. This home features great curb appeal and the lot is framed with a timeless split rail fence. The trees planted during the century old schoolhouse of the past provide mature varieties of pine, maple, and spruce in a serene sheltered space to enjoy nature. Thoughtfully placed Apple trees for baking, cherry tree for beauty and white birch for uplighting add to the beauty of this lot.
