Description
Welcome to 596 Harvard Street! This beautiful Cape-style gem in the heart of the desirable Highlands has so much to offer and is priced to sell!

Meticulously maintained over the last 26 years of ownership, it features improvements that include new roof and gutters in 2018, new windows in 2013, vinyl siding in 2005, finished basement with half bathroom, Hydro-Air system, and 200 Amp electrical service. Forced heat and central AC on all three floors! Beautiful three season room and enclosed porch. Full bathrooms on first and second floors. Most areas with carpeting throughout the home have hardwood floors underneath waiting to be restored. Detached garage and low maintence lawn. The major, more costly improvements have been made for you. All you need is some paint on the walls and TLC on the floors to make this home perfect!

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHello. I am a Morton Alumni currently in their freshman year of highschool. I would recommend that families steer clear of this school for their own good. For starters, the kids run the school here and teachers are constantly getting bullied out of their jobs. The teacher shortage was very apparent in all three of my years here. Please also note that the teachers here are 50/50. Some of them are incredibly sweet and understanding of the kids, but others genuinely should not be able to work with children. A lot of the admin are also oblivious to whatever happens around the school. One of the vice principals is very harsh with the students and often yells or gives out Saturday detentions. I would also like to say that if you are a parent of a special education child, do not send your kid here. The bullying, especially bullying of special needs children, is very bad here, and the admin let kids get picked on and harassed daily with seemingly no punishments for the aggressor. The school also had around 800 kids and only two security guards there total, though it might have changed during the 2025-2026 school year. I would now like to shout out some of my favorite teachers from the school. If your child has Mrs. Carvalho for seventh grade English, or Mr. Carvalho for eighth grade math, they are in good hands. I learned a lot in their classes and they are very understanding to students. I'm going to end this review by saying that my time at this school had good parts, such as friendships and the eighth grade field trip, but I feel as though the bad outweighs the good. Please reconsider sending your child to Morton.Other Review3mo ago
