Description
Remember Grandma's old Victorian house that you played at as a kid? Now you have the opportunity to have your own Old Victorian home on a corner lot in the small town of Merkel! With the big wrap around front porch, all of the detailed woodwork inside and the two decorative fireplaces, this home NEEDS YOUR TLC! The rooms feel so large on the first floor with the tall ceilings. The upstairs bathroom still has the claw foot tub just waiting to be restored. There is a detached two car garage that's big enough to park in and still have room to work on projects. This home will make a great flip house or a great home for someone! Buyer to verify sq ft. TO BE SOLD AS-IS.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children and I love this school. Their academic expectations are high, the teachers are sensitive and driven, the office staff friendly, and other staff helpful as well. My children do well in this school. There are occassionally problems with peers (as is expected in this age group), but they are quickly resolved. If one of my children is falling behind, I am quickly made aware and the teacher and I work together to get the child back up with the rest of the class. I love this school and I love this town. You will find the friendly small-town atmosphere carries over into the school.Parent Review14y ago - Merkel High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe only real saving grace for this school are the teachers. Don’t get me wrong, there are some awful teachers, but the ones that are good are the best teachers around. Bullying is a major issue here, academics are encouraged to be bare minimum, and if you aren’t in an extra curricular you will suffer.
