A 100-year-old former school, renovated and dubbed Iowa's "Prairie Castle," has hit the market for $1.7 million.

59035 190th Street, which is sprawled over more than 3 acres northeast of Ames, is a "magnificent" property, according to the home's broker, Luke Jensen, who is also the son of owners Dean and Dianne Jensen.

"It's not replaceable —  you can't go to another house and find exposed masonry walls or 16-foot floor-to-ceiling windows," he told Insider. "There's a lot of the features of the home that are one-of-a-kind."

Take a look inside this unique, all-brick luxury residence.
