Description
Charming Updated Bungalow in a Prime Location This cute bungalow offers a great combination of charm, updates, and location—just 2 blocks from the high school and 5 blocks from the middle school. Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including some fresh interior paint (2026), a new garage door opener (2026), a new water heater (2025), and some new interior sewer line (2026). Additional major updates include a replaced sewer line to the street (2020), updated electrical panel (2020), and the addition of an egress window (2020), creating a 3rd legal bedroom in the basement. The home also features newer vinyl windows throughout. The basement has experienced minor groundwater backup during past city flooding, but the home itself did not take on standing flood water. With its solid updates, added living space, and convenient location, this home is a fantastic opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours!

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible!!!! Consider any other surrounding school before Spencer... PLEASE! This school system is a joke and is extremely pretentious. Several families I know of have removed their children from this school system this year with more doing the same next year. My child will no longer attend school here, either, as the support, educational excellence and moral compasses of the educators and administration is C level at best.Parent Review8y ago - Fairview Park Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll 3 of my children have gone or are still going to Johnson. Our oldest, now 8 and attending Fairview, began attending in kindergarten when they began the grade alike program. The program has been absolutely wonderful. The bullying happens less often. And when it does happen, it is taken care of immediately. The Child's Garden program at Johnson for preschool there is one of the best preschool programs I've seen yet. . The staff is knowledgeable and wonderful. They have made such an impression on my children and they all love going to school just to see their teachers! You couldn't ask for anything better!Parent Review11y ago - Lincoln Elementary School
