Description
Brimming with charm and enchantment, the idyllic setting of this 5 Bedroom, 3 Full and 2 Half Bath Victorian is something out of a fairytale!
Everything you could wish for has been done for you! Completely renovated inside and out, this enchanting beauty has been beautifully redesigned to maximize open space and light while showcasing the lovely original detail and the breathtaking structure beneath. Glimpses of rough-hewn joists and exposed brick, combine effortlessly with the crisp lines of the lofty, light filled interior, creating a wonderfully organic and unmistakably inviting aesthetic. The gracious front porch with two ceiling fans to cool you on hot, Summer days welcomes you into the sprawling, dramatic open space of the Parlor floor. An absolute dream for family life and gatherings, the generous entry foyer, living/dining areas and kitchen flow together seamlessly. Ten foot ceilings enhance the feeling of open space and windows on every wall flood the room with spectacular natural light while affording a lovely connection to the outdoors. The sprawling entry foyer and living room are big enough for two seating areas, and has a bay of three windows, the original decorative, gas fireplace and an original leaded glass window. The dining room is big enough for a table that seats 10 or more, has another decorative gas fireplace and is open to the stunning chef's kitchen.

The high end appliance suite includes an LG Cafe Series, 6-burner stove with a white Ancona hood, Bosch dishwasher and a huge Frigidaire, double door refrigerator with a full size refrigerator and freezer. Rough hewn, open shelving and exposed beam ceilings add a delightful organic contrast. A door off of the kitchen to your private backyard oasis with a large expanse of grass and peripheral plantings, makes enjoyment of the outdoors easy! Off of the kitchen is a convenient, windowed half bath.
The perfectly laid out second floor is the home to three, huge bedrooms and two full baths.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEverything about this school is below average by far. 95% of the teachers give either work thats too easy to the point we don't learn, or teach very poorly. The other 5% of teachers are decent but the work is still not up to par with other schools in course rigor. You may get good scores in class until you take an AP test where your grades don't matter. This school had potential but has completely ruined itself. Some of the teachers promote skipping classes (particularly gym teachers), which really isn't what you need.Some of the rooms have mold growing in the floors and (from my experience) has been there for at least 3 years. I thought this school would have been good but I was so wrong.The only part of the school that is decent is the vast number of clubs (which 80% of them fall on Thursday).If you live over 40 minutes away don't go to school as it starts at 7:15 once youre junior/senior.Student Review1y ago - School Of Science And Technology

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter was here for first and second grade she had Ms. Fontaine and Mrs. Aris. They were amazing teachers. Mr.M was extremely helpful the guidance counselor also the principal and assistant principal was very understanding and really helped. This is a really great school and care about the kids. Only problem we had it had no G&T program so this is why we left. Over all the school made you feel like family. My daughter loved it here, we miss it!Parent Review2y ago - Ps 315

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love PS 315. My son is happy in 1st grade at the school. His teachers strive to make the class engaging and interactive. I'm amazed by how much he is learning this year. He has music, art, dance, gym and even has a weekly class with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. The school community is very welcoming and warm. The PTA is growing and there are many ways to get involved. An amazing, large new playground will be finished in May - with new equipment, a track, basketball and outdoor classroom. The school Administration is really responsive to the parents.Parent Review6y ago - Middle 890
