The Old Timken School Timken,KS Located in scenic Midwest Kansas is 10,000 sq feet school house. The schoolhouse has four large classrooms three which have been redone to provide living quarters, two huge bathrooms (one that has been mostly redone that features a five head shower), and a ½ bath that sits between two of the remodel classrooms. It has a awesome kitchen and cafeteria with built in warming trays. All the original metal cabinets, quadruple sink, gigantic heavy cast iron stove are included in the kitchen. Both kitchen, dining room and two of the classrooms have ceilings with R30 insulation and all built outside walls in the school house have that high of insulation. The heating and air are done by zone heating/cooling. It has worked miraculously in the cold winters and warm summers. The halls hold on the temperatures of spring and fall long after those seasons have passed. Some other features of this amazing building is a janitors closet, walk in pantry, little office room, basement storage,and two outside storage rooms. Although the focal point is an enormous gym, complete with a stage and basketball hoops. Some uses the gym has seen is indoor pool area, weight/exercise room, family gathering area, and when needed I have used it for storage while remodeling. I have chosen to sell the schoolhouse because my rheumatoid arthritis has become disabling and I can no longer give it the attention it deserve. I am a single woman who’s kids have all grown up so the space was to much to care for. I personally just lived in the school, but my daughters would day dream of what the school house could be when they would visit, I decided to include some of their suggestions: Bed and Breakfast Wedding and Reception Hall Any type of business office, Preschool Restaurant with different theme rooms Or a work at home eBay business, But as I said, I was happy just having it as my personal home. It sits on about an acre of land with the original playground equipment.
