Description
Here's a renovator's dream. With solid concrete foundations and a sturdy timber frame, this ranch-style two-bedroom home is ready for a facelift. Set on a very pretty 7.7 acres, the house is just minutes from downtown but has the air of a country retreat. There was some water damage earlier this year when a pipe burst, but the damaged carpets and damaged sections of drywall have been removed and are ready for replacement. The basement is dry and has easy walkout access from the yard. A spacious shed with a concrete floor provides additional room for storage. The house is being sold as is. It will not qualify for VA or FHA loans.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from November 30, 2023

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen I was there one of the teachers made me cry and didn’t say sorry or I didn’t mean to make you cry They only “apologized” after I told someone they made 3 other kids cry that year. One of the teachers yelled at me when I didn’t hold the door for someone the person wasn’t disabled it was I wasn’t being a gentlemen I was in the 3rd grade. One of the kids didn’t do any work and was fine one kid slept the most classes and was ok. My friend was bullied for crying, the teacher didn’t do much. They banned a game for having a “bad” name. This was the 4th grade we would get in trouble for playing. My 2nd grade teacher threw a chair and broke a plastic bin they scared me and my friends at the table. There are good things like natures classroom and some field trips and going outside and the museum right by the school but that gets boring and repetitive. Some teachers are nice and that does help. There are fun trips that we went on . That’s allOther Review3y ago - Mt. Anthony Senior Uhsd #14

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been at the Middle School for 2 1/2 years. The new facility is awesome. I have found her teachers to be dedicated and responsive to her needs. They have made themselves available to speak with me, and to meet with her after school when needed. The material presented is up-to-date, and relevant. The administrative staff is also responsive to student and parent requests. The new after-school program provides a diverse variety of activities for enrichment in art, music, science, sports, self esteem, environmental concerns, technology and career exploration. There are bands and choruses, sports teams, cheerleaders, and clubs. Monthly school dances are sponsored by the PTSA, who also sponsor special events like the Winter Carnival. I have been impressed with the Middle SchoolParent Review15y ago
