The Nine Mile Fork Schoolhouse – a Rosenwald School

1. Watch the Virtual Tour here

A rare opportunity to own an original 1927 Rosenwald Schoolhouse that’s been lovingly restored and updated to a luxurious 3 bedroom 2 bath, single family home.

The ideal new homeowner will continue to oversee the preservation of this 1927 unique historical property which was originally designed by Sears Roebuck Founder; Julius Rosenwald.

While keeping within its original historical footprint – this home has been designed to take advantage of the space within a productive yet calming flow. Twelve foot ceilings, modern appliances and a full chefs kitchen open to a cocktail bar and spacious living area, complete with two original cedar coat closets for ample storage.

The single level open concept of the floor plan was designed and restored with future efficiency in mind. Ceiling fans keep the air circulating while stunning 6 foot windows bring in natural light for perfect east/west exposure as envisioned by Julius Rosenwald himself!
Each room is individually controlled for heat and air through a whole home Blueridge system that offers a long term warranty. The soaring fireplace features a unique heatilator system for wood burning – or electric logs for less clean up. The new above ground well insures fresh and unlimited water supply, while an attic fan  combined with towering trees provide enough shade for a comfortable year round climate. A recent architectural roof and professionally installed vapor barrier with dehumidifier under a solid brick crawl space will also provide years of sustainability and protection against todays unpredictable weather elements.

Best of all the Nine Mile Schoolhouse was built to last on high ground! No flood insurance required.

A spacious 20 x 10 ft screened in porch with newly installed Anderson patio doors provides spectacular sunrise and sunset views with plenty of seating to enjoy coffee or cocktails in the evening.

The large Master Bedroom features a modern bath with radiant heating and a luxurious shower.  The guest bedroom has a large closet and separate bath with claw foot tub.

Nestled on two acres of towering oaks draped with Spanish moss, vintage azaleas and an original raised garden, this property offers all the discreet rural beauty and privacy that Wadmalaw Island is known for – yet is only 5 minutes to the desirable Maybank corridor district of John’s Island, 7.5 miles to Kiawah Island for shopping at Freshfields, Beaches, and Golfing, and just 14 miles to world class downtown Charleston and King Street with its  phenomenal culinary delights, colorful night life, and miles of historical architectural treasures. 

A custom fire pit and spacious dog park overlooks a pristine horse farm that borders the property.

The original Outhouse now serves as a productive workshop, and a spacious carport is convenient for your vehicle and lawn equipment.

Serene morning and evening walks can be taken through meandering paths that have been created throughout the property and in the adjacent woods. Don’t be surprised if a few of the neighborhood deer join you!
