Light-toned luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, lending a clean, cohesive look to the entire space. The spacious primary bedroom is the standout feature of the unit, accommodating a generous footprint with two double-hung windows that invite abundant natural light and views of the surrounding neighborhood. A ceiling fan overhead provides year-round comfort, while baseboard heating lines the walls. Neutral greige walls create a calm, versatile backdrop.

White appliances — including a refrigerator, electric range, and over-the-range microwave — are neatly integrated. A window above the sink area brings in additional light. The kitchen connects directly to the bedroom via a short hallway, optimizing the flow of the unit. The bathroom features classic black-and-white octagonal mosaic tile flooring, a pedestal sink with chrome fixtures, a framed mirror, and a shower-tub combination with white subway tile surround — all contributing to a timeless, well-maintained aesthetic.

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.
