The creepy school house

- Source: www.news.com.au

FIVE years ago, a couple purchased an abandoned school and transforme­d it into their very own home – but it's giving off some creepy vibes to potential buyers.

Now listed at a whopping $A3.1 million ($F4.8 million), the Pennsylvan­ia home is made up of four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Built in 1965, the former school has been converted into a single-family home, with room for 30 cars.

Dubbed the 'School House', the revamped property includes an indoor basketball court — left over from student gym days — along with an arcade and a home fitness centre.

While the rooms are newly renovated in the ranch-style home, some appear gloomy and windowless.

But perhaps one of the weirdest of them all, one bathroom has kept the child-size urinals from when the school was in operation. Spanning more than 1365 sqm, the property sits on a massive 4.63ha lot.

In the home, an updated kitchen has replaced the cafeteria, but there are also whiteboard­s that remain intact in some of the rooms. The school, originally known as 'Perry Elementary' — has allowed former students to be been given a tour of their old stomping grounds.

The owners are reportedly looking to sell because they are ready to retire on a lakefront property, according to The Post. The property has been making the rounds on TikTok, with an initial viral post from the account Zillowtast­rophes, with many people a bit creeped out by the home. To add to its 'creepiness', the house also happens to be situated next to a cemetery. So far there hasn't been a hot market for the School House, as the property has been on the market for 227 days.
