About this House
Welcome to a home that's been truly loved and thoughtfully upgraded from top to bottom. This charming ranch offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nearly 1,800 sqft of finished living space, blending classic character with modern convenience. Major updates include a new roof and gutters on both the home and oversized 2-car garage, updated HVAC (2019), water heater (2022), new smoke/CO detectors (2025), and a new garage door + WiFi-enabled opener. Inside, enjoy original hardwood floors on the main level and updated lighting throughout. The main level offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, with a functional layout that flows easily from the living room into the dining space and kitchen. Step right out to the brand-new 12'x12' concrete patio and steps (2025) perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Downstairs, the basement was professionally waterproofed in 8/2024 and includes a sump pump with backup for peace of mind. The full basement finish, professionally completed in 10/2024, nearly doubles your living space with a spacious ¾ bathroom, second living room, and a dreamy primary suite featuring a large walk-in closet. A new gas line was added for the stove and a brand-new front deck (2024) adds to the home's curb appeal.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe were warned about sending our kids to this school as we were new to the area. We did attempt to open enroll to another school but being as we moved so late, they were full so I can’t help but feel we got “stuck” with this school.This will be our first and only year at this school. The kids that attend here are terribly behaved. Bullying is an issue, there seems to be no dress code, and there are A LOT of thieves here. My son also got into a fight here (he was defending himself from a kid who was bothering him the entire year) and it was poorly handled by the school. Basically was told to come pick up our child and the lady wasn’t even going to tell me what happened that had led up to the fight. That was annoying. We’re military so we move often and we have never had issues with any school like this or dealt with kids like the ones that go to this school. The kids here have severe behavior issues.Parent Review3mo ago - Brubaker Elementary School
