Description
Steeped in Fall River history, this grand property at 216 Prospect St was once owned by Charlie Buffinton, the first famous professional baseball player to emerge from Fall River. Rich with character and potential, the home is currently configured as a four-family residence but offers a unique opportunity to be restored to an impressive single-family estate. The first-floor unit showcases many original architectural details and would serve as an owner's residence. Offering approximately 1,800 square feet of living space, this unit features a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, elegant living room w/beautiful leaded glass details, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Situated on a corner lot, the exterior features a detached two-car garage, ample off-street parking, and space to create a future patio or outdoor entertaining area. Whether you're seeking a historic home to restore, an owner-occupied multifamily property, or an investment opportunity, this property can be your homerun.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHello. I am a Morton Alumni currently in their freshman year of highschool. I would recommend that families steer clear of this school for their own good. For starters, the kids run the school here and teachers are constantly getting bullied out of their jobs. The teacher shortage was very apparent in all three of my years here. Please also note that the teachers here are 50/50. Some of them are incredibly sweet and understanding of the kids, but others genuinely should not be able to work with children. A lot of the admin are also oblivious to whatever happens around the school. One of the vice principals is very harsh with the students and often yells or gives out Saturday detentions. I would also like to say that if you are a parent of a special education child, do not send your kid here. The bullying, especially bullying of special needs children, is very bad here, and the admin let kids get picked on and harassed daily with seemingly no punishments for the aggressor. The school also had around 800 kids and only two security guards there total, though it might have changed during the 2025-2026 school year. I would now like to shout out some of my favorite teachers from the school. If your child has Mrs. Carvalho for seventh grade English, or Mr. Carvalho for eighth grade math, they are in good hands. I learned a lot in their classes and they are very understanding to students. I'm going to end this review by saying that my time at this school had good parts, such as friendships and the eighth grade field trip, but I feel as though the bad outweighs the good. Please reconsider sending your child to Morton.Other Review4mo ago - Westall
