Charming bungalow, lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 70 years.

Dining area, but there is room for a table and a couple of chairs in the kitchen. Bonus room on the rear of the home with knotty pine paneling. Perfect spot for your tv/family room. Dry basement with mechanicals that the seller believes were replaced within the last five years. New roof in 2020 with upgraded shingles. One car detached garage with overhead door/opener. Backyard is entirely fenced and there is a small, covered patio area on the back of the home. Home Sweet Home!

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Willard Elementary likes to bully children with special needs. They are aware of disabilities the child has but does the complete opposite when trying to "help" the child. They grab children and yell at them. Even those with PTSD which that behavior can make matters worse and the child's behavior worse. I would not recommend this school especially for special needs students

"We are friendly with several of our neighbors, we have BBQ'S or have snacks with a few of them. They look out for our place, as we look out for theirs. We definitely watch the "druggies" that come and go from one house across the alley from us."

"I've lived here for almost 3 years with a friend. It's a crowded house, but we all love this neighborhood. There was only a few incidents that had me concerned, but they seem to have been isolated. Neighbors tend to look out for each other here, like the old days."
