Description
Charming colonial-style home with great potential! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath property (with the possibility of a second bath in the basement needing some finishing touches) offers classic character and solid bones—perfect for a first-time buyer or savvy investor.
The main level features a welcoming living room with built-in shelving, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with ample cabinet space. A convenient mudroom adds functionality, while the enclosed front porch provides a cozy spot to relax. Upstairs, you’ll find an updated full bath with a new vanity top, faucet, vinyl flooring, a beautifully tiled shower with glass doors, and a generously sized linen closet. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpet in the living and dining rooms, and are believed to continue into the bedrooms (not verified). Additional highlights include newer windows, glass block basement windows, and a hot water tank replaced in 2024. The home also includes a 1-car garage. With just a little TLC, this property can truly shine—making it an excellent starter home or a fantastic rental opportunity!

I've called the board of education more times in 2 years then i have in 10 years of having kids in school.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, my experience with East CLC left me concerned about how bullying situations were handled. While the school promotes a commitment to student safety, reports of bullying involving my child did not appear to receive consistent follow-up or resolution. As a result, my child did not feel adequately protected.During meetings with administration, my child felt uncomfortable and discouraged from fully sharing their experience, which made it difficult to address the situation effectively. This created added stress for both my child and our family during an already challenging time.Additionally, there was a lack of clarity regarding whether bullying incidents were formally documented and submitted according to school district procedures. Without clear documentation or accountability, the issues continued without meaningful improvement.East CLC may be a good fit for some families, but from a parent’s perspective, there is a need for stronger communication, transparency, and consistent enforcement of anti-bullying policies to ensure students truly feel safe and supported.Parent Review5mo ago
