TODAY’S TOP PROPERTIES

Here's what I love about it - A converted one-room schoolhouse built in 1867, tucked in the rolling farmlands in “America’s coziest small town”, Stockholm, WI. Original hardwood floors and a flood of natural light create vintage vibes, while a modern kitchenette, book nook, and artisan-tiled bath add just the right twist. The lower level’s bedroom and blank-canvas art studio invite your creative spark. A sprawling deck and two storage sheds set the stage for al fresco dining and starry nights along the Great River Road. With projected bookings topping $60K and a cash-on-cash return over 27%, this schoolhouse is a classic investment lesson in charm.
