About this House
Step back in time with this 1948 brick-wrapped gem. Lovingly cared for and bursting with authentic mid-century character, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a rare blend of historic charm and functional living space. As you arrive, a welcoming covered front porch invites you inside to discover original architectural details that define the era-including hardwood floors waiting to be uncovered beneath the carpeting. The heart of the home expands into a spectacular family room extension off the back, featuring stunning wall-to-wall windows that flood the space with natural light. The primary suite boasts a rare find for a home of this vintage: a spacious, cedar-lined walk-in closet. Additional living and storage options abound with a solid basement and a massive walk-up attic complete with full stairs just waiting for your creative touches. Outside, the amenities continue with a covered back porch perfect for morning coffee, a detached oversized 2-car garage, and generous extra parking spaces.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is the worst school I've let my children go to they allow bullying, and fighting, and they are allowed to flip desks, throw stuff, Etc.Also, the teachers in this school are very disrespectful to students, my son came to me saying that his teacher yelled at him for not doing his work because someone broke his pencil, he told me he tried to explain to the teacher but she wouldn't let him explain. You also can't learn at this school the kids are way too loud and you can't hear the teacher. There ain't no way my 2 honor roll kids' grades went down that much over 6 months. In my solid opinion, they learn better in 2020 when online school was in effect. So, you won't see me or my kids here next year.Parent Review3y ago - Eliza A. Blaker School 55
