About this House
Tucked away on 3 wooded acres, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers over 2,600 sq ft of comfortable living space, combining privacy, functionality, and stylish updates.
The main floor is filled with natural light and features a spacious primary suite with walk-in closets, convenient main-floor laundry, a separate dining room, and a flexible front living room/office. The updated kitchen showcases solid amish cherry cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and opens seamlessly to the breakfast area and family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageChildren in the normal scheme of learning are doing well, anyone behind they don't offer resources to these children unless they qualify within special education. Their reading scores on their website are proof, they have a very specific learning structure and will not budge from it, nor offer special help outside of a regular day.Parent Review7y ago - Francis Howell High School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience at Francis Howell High has been a great disappointment. Students go in feeling hopeful for an amazing high school experience and leave feeling like they didn't get to make the memories they wanted. The classes and teachers are great but it is the fact that the district takes away students' opportunities for fun and memorable experiences. For example, personalized parking spots are no longer allowed, which was something everyone was excited about. I wish that the district took into account what the students wanted rather than taking away what makes high school enjoyable.Student Review3y ago
