Description
SET BACK IN THE MAGICAL FOREST OF THE ANDOVER WOODS...lies a charming home for those seeking their own personal oasis! Down a long dirt driveway this unique passive solar home is set on over 5 ACRES that takes advantage of the shade in the summer and the sun in the winter. Brand-new stainless-steel appliances, Speed Queen washer & dryer, elves (licensed contractors,) have recently refinished the wood floors upstairs, installed new kitchen countertops & took down 4 trees. The wood stove near the kitchen heats most of the home and there's also a floor to ceiling stone fireplace that separates the dining & living rooms. The roof is approx 16 years old with 50-year shingles and was just soft washed. Fresh interior paint. There is an oversized 3 car attached garage (approx 35'x23') and a 1 car detached garage for car lovers, contractors, hobbyists, etc. The inground pool instantly boosted our popularity amongst family & friends. The primary bedroom has a sitting area, 2 closets, (one being a walk-in,) and also has an unfinished room over the garage for future expansion if desired. The other 2 bedrooms are nicely sized and there's another room (the navy blue one,) that could be used for guests, an office, a 2nd living room, etc. *Please note that this home has spots of rotten siding, original windows & doors, older deck & balconies** There is only a tub in the upstairs full bathroom (NO shower) ***There is privacy but not complete seclusion.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrible I am a current senior at rham highschool. This school shows a lack of respect and empathy from the administrators. The school allows their employees to walk all over students, talk bad about them, and do many things outside of the policy and their job descriptions with no consequences. Students on the other hand are disrespected and treated as if they are less than and administrators see no problem with it. The administrators like to target and try to get kids in trouble who they label as ‘troublemakers’. Lots of racial discrimination and disrespect in this school without consequences. If you want your child to have the support they need and be able to be themselves do not send them to rham highschoolStudent Review7mo ago - Rham Middle School
