Description
Historic Hill Colonial with Timeless Charm & Endless Potential Nestled on a desirable corner lot in the Historic Hill section of town, this stately Colonial is filled with classic character and ready for its next chapter. A detached two-car garage and beautiful architectural details make this home a rare opportunity. The welcoming kitchen features a charming built-in breakfast nook and convenient desk area, while the formal dining room showcases a beautiful built-in hutch, perfect for entertaining. The spacious living room is centered around a cozy fireplace and flows into a stunning sunroom filled with natural light, creating the perfect place to relax year-round. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpeting throughout much of the home, preserving its original beauty. A convenient half bath is located just off the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, including a spacious primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet. A full bath completes the second floor. The finished third floor offers a versatile fourth bedroom, home office, artist's studio, or creative retreat. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to downtown, local parks, shops, restaurants, and Eastern Connecticut State University. While this home could benefit from some updating, it offers incredible bones, timeless craftsmanship, and the opportunity to restore a truly stunning Historic Hill gem to its full glory.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageComienzo diciendo que la escuela No tiene Profecionales, son Inrresponsables y los Niños No están Seguros... No están Tomando las medidas de prevención del Covid-19 como presumen ellos. Mi hijo tuvo contacto con Un maestro con Covid el 16-17 de Diciembre y No fue hasta en 20-21 que me llamaron, luego les dije que si el estuvo expuesto, Mi Hija y Mi Familia tambn (enfatizando que tengo una recien nacida con Problemas respiratorios que de la misma escuela los nenes me trajeron una infección respiratoria que nos cogio a todos y a la bebe, con tan solo un mes, me la tuvieron recluida por una semana por que se le complico hasta llegar a Neumonia) Ellos No están Tomando las Medidas Necesarias, ni Requeridas para evitar la Propagación y Yo No voy a exponer la Vida de Mis Hijos mandándolos a Una escuela con tales irresponsables. Sin Olvidar que, el Maestro de Mi Hijo (de 6 años) lo Confronto por delatarlo con Migo. Osea, que mi hijo No me podía decir que el Maestro lo saco en frio, cuando Ellos en la escuela tienen una Carta de su Medico para No sacar a Mis Hijos por su Condición de Asma para afuera, y quizo que Mi Hijo me Mintiera y le guardara "El Secreto" de el haberlo sacado. NO es ético que quieran hacer que los Niños Mientan y Menos que formenten los secretos con los padres, Mucho Menos que Un Adulto y para Colmo "Maestro" confronte a Un Niño de 6 años y le infrinja Miedo (al Confrontar El Maestro al Niño). Desde que empezaron las clases en esa Escuela, para el Mes de Septiembre, estoy esperando una cita con la Directora y ya es Enero y sigo Esperando!!! Ahora bien, Ni Mis Hijos, ni Mis dos Sobrinos están asistiendo a clases por que Ni Yo, Ni Mis Hermanas Nos sentimos Seguros de Enviarlos y Nadie me da Una Solución, ni Una Respuesta cuerente, solo Un Número de Una Señora en la Oficina Central la cual Nunca Responde.Parent Review4y ago - Windham High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe former principal was a blockhead. The new guy is about twice as smart but way too touchy-feely. The big problem is that half of the students have been socially promoted to the high school even though they are still reading at the fourth-grade level. How many grammatical errors can you count in the student reviews?Other Review15y ago - Charles High Barrows Stem Academy
