Stacie Grissom and Sean Wilson are high school sweethearts who are returning to their hometown to renovate an old, 10-thousand square foot schoolhouse into their home sweet home.
JOHNSON CO., Ind. -- A couple with Hoosier roots is taking on a major project to preserve a piece of history in their hometown."As a kid going to Hopewell, you are always like, I want to live in Hopewell when I grow up," says Grissom.
The pair moved to the Big Apple for their careers and found success in New York City, but a big piece of their hearts was still in the Hoosier state. Being away from Indiana, her parents got a first look at the property. With their experience of commercial real estate, they walked around an old school building for sale to see if it had the potential to go from old schoolhouse to a homestead."And I was like, OK," says Grissom."Here's all my savings.""We bought it without seeing it ourselves," says Grissom.
In the planning process, Stacie traveled to the Johnson County Museum of History to look for old photos and information on the old schoolhouse. On the bottom floor, they eventually hope to turn an old engine room into a wine cellar and make more play space for kids and bedrooms for guests. In order to figure out the quirks of the space and adapt it to become their dream home, Stacie enlisted the help of a trusted, local expert and childhood friend.
"She called me up and said, we did this crazy thing and purchased this big school building," says Causey."I mean they are definitely crazy for doing it, but they are the right type of people that are going to make it perfect and awesome."
