Description
Wonderful historic property which has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 1945. Beautifully updated and in immaculate condition, the "New England Salt Box" home was expanded in 2002. The gracious circular, stamped and stained driveway is just the beginning of the special attributes which includes a great view of Mirror Lake across the Mirror Lake bridge. A decorative cupola, complete with copper whale weathervane was brought from Nantucket. The 2.28 acres has been professionally designed and is perfect for gardening or just enjoying a stroll to the private dock on Mirror Lake. There are 25 hemlock trees near the house which were treated over the years to protect and preserve them. When the home was renovated, chestnut wood and reclaimed wide heavy timbers were used throughout the home. All of the chestnut cabinets, paneling and wainscoting are reclaimed wood. The original hand-rolled glass pane windows which slide into the walls were preserved wherever possible. Entertaining is a breeze with a large deck and gazebo which overlooks the gardens and the view. A path lined with stones leads to native boulder steps down to a landing and a small dock on Mirror lake with a row boat, canoe and decorative pergola at the lakeshore. The master wing in the rear of the home was an addition and includes a lovely seating area around a gas fireplace, beautiful wood built in bookcases and desk area plus a large walk-in closet and updated bath. Upstairs are three wonderful guest bedrooms, one of which could be a second master suite.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLots of disrespectful teachers, principal and everyone is more worried about your phone dropping out of your pocket and what the girls are wearing then if you get a quality education. I honestly cannot say anything good about this school except for about 5 teachers out of a lot. Librarian tells kids to shut up and yelled at us every time we went to get books. Kids sells lots of vapes and some weird stuff went down in the bathrooms that I can’t put online. WAYYY too concerned about girls clothes…it’s one thing if you’re wearing booty shorts but you would wear shorts that cover everything, and you have to change. PE favorites are always who is the best at the sports they play for them, not who actually tries. Only the curvy girls get dress codes btw, if you’re flat apparently they don’t care. A lockdown while I was there, lots of fights, kids making threats and posting about guns, etc. Crappy school.Other Review1y ago - Macon Early College High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOddly, MVI has for the last couple of years had a policy of no homework. This doesn't seem like a good strategy for a school that is performing poorly in standardized tests in all subject areas. Additionally, it fails to prepare students who will be entering the middle school across the street where homework is given and expected to be completed. Another step in the wrong direction this year was the removal of grouping by academic level. Mixing all levels together in classes results in teachers having to teach to the middle in classes of mixed abilities and fails to help both students at the higher and lower ends of the spectrum.Parent Review7mo ago
