Description
Fully updated throughout, this home features sun-filled rooms, soaring ceilings, & too many updates to list! Transferable tax abatement - Seller pays just $26 per year in property taxes! Step inside to a flowing layout where the remodeled kitchen boasts rich espresso shaker cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, & stainless steel appliances overlooking the breakfast nook: a perfect place to start your mornings. Sellers loved gathering here & will miss the way natural light pours in across the open living spaces. Thoughtfully upgraded, this home offers both convenience & peace of mind: laundry options on the 1st floor or in the basement, new windows, siding, roof, AC & dual-stage furnace (2022), new water heater, blown-in attic insulation, glass block windows, & even waterproofed basement w. new stairs. Upstairs, both full bathrooms have been fully remodeled, while the RARE primary bedroom (not many homes on the west side have a primary bedroom with private ensuite full bathroom) showcases oak flooring. Every detail has been refreshed so you can simply move in & enjoy. The sellers will miss cozy evenings in the inviting living room, mornings sipping coffee in the breakfast nook, & the sense of comfort knowing everything has been meticulously cared for. They'll also miss the privacy & functionality of the backyard: step outside to your secluded patio surrounded by a 6-ft vinyl fence, stroll down new concrete walkways wrapping the home, or head to the newly built 2-car detached garage complete w. foundation upgrade and new electric. Whether entertaining, gardening, or unwinding, this backyard is ready to be enjoyed in every season! Professional photos to be added; priced to sell! See A2A remarks.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMr. Scott followed a very hands off principal who was absent or disengaged most of the time. When he came to Highland last year, the school was a mess. Bullying and harassment was pervasive and parents overtook the school to their pleasure. He came, set order in the school, implemented strict discipline expectations for staff and students. He even held parents accountable for our conduct. I did not like him at all until I saw the difference in my childs reading performance. I must admit, I was leary of having a stern African-American male leading a school in a community that has little to no positive Black males. He often brags about being the first Black male in the school's 120 year history. He decided to leave to pursue a doctorate. The school has not been the same since he left. I will miss him. I hope Columbus City Schools knows what they lost. The very parents that did not like him because of his color are now saying they miss him.Parent Review11y ago - West High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is literally one of the worst schools I ever experienced in my life and let me tell you why. When my son was going here they lost my son on a bus didn't know where he went couldn't get a hold of nobody someone did call me and tell me hey your son I don't know where you guys live at and I have him on my bus but everybody's gone now I don't know where to go. We hang up cuz he said he needed to call the school I tried calling him back no one answered I tried calling the school no one answered so I had to go up there because nobody answered I get up there the principal gives me the runaround I'm crying we had to call the police. My kid was bullied severely here as well to the point where I had to take him out of school and put him into a new one because these teachers don't care. The principal is the worst principal I've seen in my life and now my nephew goes here he's on a IEP they don't meet their goals they don't help their students they never answer the phone. If you try to call up there you will never get an answer you will have to literally go up there and talk to somebody I promise you that.Parent Review1y ago
