Description
Are you looking for a well kept classic home, in a neighborhood with mature trees, in a great location? This is it! This 4-5 bedroom home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner for over 60 years. It is located on a corner lot that is perfect to show off its Victorian features including a corner turret. The large living room has plenty of windows for natural light, including three stained glass windows. The dining room has a fireplace with a surround that includes a built-in bookcase. The fireplace has been sealed up, but would accept electric logs. The generously sized kitchen boasts an abundance of cabinets and counter top space and includes all appliances. There is also a table area in the kitchen and a built-in hutch. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, including a master bedroom with a half bathroom. The second bedroom is currently set up as a study. The first floor bathroom features a tub/shower. The second floor of this house adds three big bedrooms (one of which was a kitchen when the second floor of the house was recently rented out as an apartment) and a full bathroom with shower. The basement is partially finished with an office and den, and offers plenty of space for storage, laundry and workshop areas in the unfinished area. The new furnace and a/c were installed in 2020. The 2.5 car garage is 24'x27' and has plenty of room for work benches, cabinets and work area. There are three decks including one on the front of the house, one on the side of the house, and one at the back, for choices of outdoor relaxation. This home would be perfect for related living as the second floor can be accessed by a separate interior entrance. Until a couple of months ago, the owner of this home lived on the first floor while tenants lived on the second floor. This home is across the street from Stratton Riverside Park, and walking distance to downtown Morris with its quaint shops, restaurants and annual festivals. Please do not delay in seeing this home. You can see it today!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is a joke. If your child has adhd or any other disability they have no idea how to handle it and they label them a problem child. If you speak up they threaten you demean your child and you and they place all the blame on you. We are not the only family they have done this to. Both of our children have adhd and they aren't doing anything to help them. By law if a child has a learning/social disability they are entitled to a 504 plan. When we asked about this they offer up a points system for them behaving well or badly and totally ignor your request for a 504 plan. They say that have your children's best interest at heart but their actions say a totally different story. If you want your child to feel depressed, to feel like they are worthless, to feel like the whole staff is against them, then this is the perfect school for you. If you want your children to be happy, to learn, to feel a sense of belonging then you better buy a house in the Saratoga school district. If you want your child/children to grow academically and socially this is definitely not the school for your family.Parent Review1mo ago - Morris Community High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAdmin warned dozens of students about how they have to buy a pass or park across the street. Then they block off the fences so all of us how to walk through cars. Thank you Michelle Flanagan. To add to that, some of these younger teachers are so lazy and will do anything to make their day go by easierStudent Review1mo ago
