This single-floor loft-style residence offers a striking blend of industrial character and contemporary design. Exposed black pipe systems and large silver ductwork run overhead throughout the open living areas, lending an authentic urban aesthetic against crisp white walls and high ceilings. The expansive main living area features wide-plank hardwood flooring and a modern shiplap-surround fireplace, creating a warm yet minimalist focal point. A dramatic curved bay of floor-to-ceiling windows floods the space with natural light and offers open views of the surrounding streetscape. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with sleek white cabinetry, a classic white subway tile backsplash, granite countertops, and a large central island. Stainless steel appliances—including a gas range, built-in microwave, and French door refrigerator—are complemented by a wine cooler, making the kitchen as functional as it is stylish. Pendant lighting adds warmth to the space. The bedrooms feature plush carpet flooring and generous natural light. The primary bathroom includes a double-sink granite vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, a heated towel rack, and warm tile flooring. A secondary bathroom offers a stacked in-unit washer and dryer alongside a full bath, adding practical convenience to this well-appointed space.

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.
