This single-floor unit offers a straightforward and functional layout with a variety of distinct flooring materials that define each space. The most striking design element throughout the living and dining areas is the rich terracotta brick tile flooring, which adds warmth and character to the otherwise neutral white walls and textured ceilings. Multiple windows fitted with horizontal blinds allow natural light to fill these open areas, while baseboard heating runs along the perimeter walls to ensure year-round comfort. The kitchen is efficiently designed, featuring warm oak cabinetry both above and below the countertops, providing ample storage. It is equipped with a stainless steel sink, a gas range with oven, a dishwasher, and a full-size refrigerator. The kitchen flooring transitions to a classic neutral vinyl tile, maintaining a clean and practical surface. An adjacent area continues the terracotta tile theme and benefits from large windows that overlook the surrounding neighborhood. The bedroom offers a calm retreat with neutral carpeting underfoot and clean white walls, providing a comfortable and versatile space. The bathroom is compact and well-appointed, featuring light ceramic tile flooring, a wall-mounted sink, a toilet, and a bold black-framed mirror that adds a modern contrast to the all-white surroundings.

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.
