This single-floor space showcases an industrial loft aesthetic, thoughtfully balanced with contemporary updates throughout. The open living area immediately impresses with soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors that reflect natural light, and exposed structural columns that serve as architectural focal points. Ceiling fans circulate air through the generous vertical space, enhancing the airy, open feel. A striking arched window framed by original brick masonry anchors one end of the living area, flooding the space with natural light and offering unobstructed views of the surrounding streetscape. Exposed ductwork and industrial-style track lighting overhead reinforce the loft character. The kitchen is well-appointed with rich, dark-stained wood cabinetry extending to the upper reaches of the tall walls, providing ample storage. A mosaic tile backsplash in neutral tones of gray, white, and beige adds texture and visual interest. Stainless steel appliances—including a range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator—complement the marble-veined countertops, striking a balance between industrial and refined. The bathroom continues the space's consistent design language, featuring a dark wood vanity with a stone-top countertop, a large mirror, and a walk-in shower with clean white surround panels.

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.
