This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence is thoughtfully organized on a single floor, offering a practical and comfortable layout. Distinctive herringbone-patterned hardwood floors run throughout the living areas, bedrooms, and hallways, lending a timeless character to the space. The generously sized primary bedroom features ceiling fan lighting and two windows that invite natural light and views of surrounding greenery, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The second bedroom is equally well-appointed, also showcasing the herringbone hardwood floors and a ceiling fan. The kitchen is efficiently designed with white cabinetry extending to the ceiling for ample storage, white appliances including a gas range, a double sink, and a window overlooking outdoor greenery, providing natural light while cooking. The bathroom retains a classic aesthetic with warm beige tile work, a full bathtub with shower, a pedestal sink, a decorative oval mirror, and a patterned mosaic tile floor, all illuminated by a vintage-style light fixture and a small window. Three hallways connect the rooms seamlessly, contributing to the functional flow of the floor plan. The overall ambiance is clean, bright, and classic, with neutral white walls complementing the warm tones of the hardwood floors throughout.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
