Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 06, 2022
This is one of two attached, deeded properties being sold together totaling 3 units. 233 Merrimac St. is a deeded half house and is being sold with 235-237 Merrimac St., a legal 2-family. This grand, Federalist-style home has been owned and occupied by the same family for 104 years, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and lovely period features throughout. The historic anchor of a once-thriving riverfront neighborhood, this stately home retains the charm of a bygone era, sitting opposite the historic Towle Building and a stones throw from the waterfront footpath that meanders through Cashman Park to the bustling downtown cafes, shops and restaurants. 233 Merrimac enjoys 2 tandem off-street parking spots, and a wrap-around screened, covered sun porch overlooking an expansive backyard and garden. 235-237 Merrimac has 4 off-street parking spots. Separate heating systems (newer) and utilities for all 3 units. Entire building has a total of 5560 square feet.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf I could give this school 0 stars I would, but I cant. The food is horrible, no adult in the building cares about your mental health and middle schoolers don't get to touch grass like I am not joking if you stand on the grass you will get yelled at by a councilor. Don't even get me started on the punishments. I got a detention for saying "Hi" to the teacher. If you ask the teacher for water or to go to the bathroom, sometimes the teacher will say no, for just no reason I cannot do basic necessities like go to the bathroom of get water. also if you have a toy or something in the classroom or even the hallways even if you are not using it it will get taken away. Now you might see that as reasonable but one time I had a rubber band ball that took 8 hours to make I was not even playing with it and it got taken away and the teacher said no when I asked for it back at the end of the class. that was a month ago and I still do not have it back. If you put a sticker on the locker that is fine but towards the end of the school year janitors will start taking them off and just throwing them away. I had a tacocat sticker that my brother got me at his first job and guess what? thrown away by a janitor. This school is horrible and I actually got depressed because of the bullying that was not handled by the school even though I talked to my teacher like 10 different times about it maybe ever more. Do not go to this school.Parent Review11mo ago - Edward G. Molin Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNewburyport is a beautiful, vibrant town, attracting financially fruitful families solely for its location & lifestyle . As such, most assume the schools in such a town would excel. Families need to dig deeper and ask real questions if they truly care about their child's education. Math is taught from hand drawn xerox sheets. English includes no spelling or grammar, and is dominated by free read time. Instead of broadening their exposure to classic literature, and learning to exercise & deepen critical thinking skills, students read oversimplified, generic modern day classroom anecdotes. History & science are virtually non-existent.Administration goes through the motions, teaching is uninspired, and creating an environment of inspired, enlightened thinkers is not even on their radar. Getting children though required classes and public testing en masse is the focus.If your child is intellectually curious, excited about learning & thrives with academic rigor, this is not the right school. There is no standard of discipline, excellence or accountability for students or teachers.Parent Review6y ago
