Description
Start Fresh on Second Street! This bungalow is more than just a house—it’s a blank canvas waiting for its next chapter with a little TLC needed. Step inside to discover warm wood floors that stretch through the living room, where natural light filters in and an arched doorway leads you toward the kitchen. With two bedrooms plus a bonus space, the layout adapts easily to your lifestyle—whether that’s a home office, guest room, or hobby retreat. Practical updates like brand-new central air in 2025 give peace of mind, while the two bathrooms provide convenience for busy mornings. Outside, the detached garage offers covered parking and storage, and the extra-deep backyard invites summer barbecues, gardening, or simply space to let kids and pets play freely. Centrally located and full of potential, this home is ready for someone who wants affordability without giving up charm, space, or updates.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible!!!! Consider any other surrounding school before Spencer... PLEASE! This school system is a joke and is extremely pretentious. Several families I know of have removed their children from this school system this year with more doing the same next year. My child will no longer attend school here, either, as the support, educational excellence and moral compasses of the educators and administration is C level at best.Parent Review7y ago - Fairview Park Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll 3 of my children have gone or are still going to Johnson. Our oldest, now 8 and attending Fairview, began attending in kindergarten when they began the grade alike program. The program has been absolutely wonderful. The bullying happens less often. And when it does happen, it is taken care of immediately. The Child's Garden program at Johnson for preschool there is one of the best preschool programs I've seen yet. . The staff is knowledgeable and wonderful. They have made such an impression on my children and they all love going to school just to see their teachers! You couldn't ask for anything better!Parent Review11y ago - Lincoln Elementary School
