Description
This beautiful Middletown home offers the perfect blend of modern updates and the timeless character you expect from this historic neighborhood. It sits on a quiet brick street within easy walking distance to Haskell Park, local coffee shops, restaurants, farmers’ markets, and the riverfront.
The covered front porch leads into an inviting foyer with a stunning open staircase. Tall ceilings and abundant natural light enhance the warmth of the home, and hardwood floors run through much of the main level. The dining room features pocket doors and an ornate fireplace with original woodwork, adding to the home’s charm. The updated kitchen includes a center island with range and seating, and it opens to a lower-level composite deck. The fenced backyard offers low-maintenance landscaping for easy living.
Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms with large closets, a built-in bookshelf, along with access to a generous composite upper deck overlooking nearby Barth Park. From the front of the home, enjoy a lovely view of the Clark Bridge. The roof is only 5 years old, providing peace of mind. A walk-up attic and clean basement offer potential for additional living space, and laundry hookups are available both upstairs and in the basement. The refrigerator, range/oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer remain with the home. Open house on Saturday, December 6th 12:00-1:30. Individual showings begin after the open house.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible. They really should hire properly trained new staff or closed the whole school down. The teacher to student ratio is too high. They only have time for the kids who can work independently, but no time for the kids who need a little help.They are unorganized. I was told I never registered my son for school when I went to the High school and fill out all the paper work, went all those stations, and talked to the principal....but I "never registered him". I had to change the bus drop off because of my work schedule. Everything was confirmed by the school and the bus company, but they still but him on the wrong bus. Called the school they assured all was fixed. Next day they did it again. My 6 year old son was walking around my neighbor until he thought to go to my neighbor's house. Thankfully his dad was working days, and was able to pick him up. I didn't find out what happened until 12am when I got off work. They took no responsibility for their actions. Hate is a strong word, but I hate that school and the stress they put my son through.Parent Review8y ago - Alton Middle School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would never recommend this school. The teachers are aloud to bully the students. The school bullies the parents when they try to speak about it. When your child misses their bus ro head home, they won't call you. They will just let you think your child is missing. They allow the high school students to ride the bus with the middle school. Had problems there. A high school student tried to stab my daughter with a pencil and the schools did nothing. Just not a good placeParent Review1y ago - North Elementary School
