Unbelievable transformation: Former school now a stunning Iowa home for sale. See it
Settle in and prepare yourself for a transformation unlike any other.
On the outside, this “home” listed for $1.75 million in Nevada, Iowa, looks like any other normal school in the area — a large brick building surrounded by lush, emerald green trees; a soothing flat-ground backdrop; a flag pole with an American flag gently swaying in the brisk morning breeze.
But inside? That’s an entirely different story.
“Art and Architecture meet in this rare adaptive reuse of a 1923 3-story school building,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “Referred by many as a ‘Prairie Castle,’ this fully renovated, all-brick structure offers fantastic 360-degree views of rural Iowa with its expansive windows.”
A whole new world awaits in the interior of this four-bedroom, six-bathroom home, with a whopping 22,000-square feet and many features including:
5,800-square-foot garage
Two kitchens
Three morning kitchens
High ceilings
New roof
New windows
The home also has an elevator and a massive ballroom that used to be a gym, according to Realtor.com.
“Located in the heart of the American Cultivation Corridor, this structure is ideal for potential entrepreneurial start-ups and incubation of business ideas would find inspiration as well,” the listing notes.
Nevada is about 40 miles north of Des Moines.
