This single-floor residence is designed with a clean, neutral aesthetic throughout, offering a practical and functional layout. The open-concept kitchen and dining area serves as the heart of the space, where a white quartz countertop peninsula doubles as a dining surface, accommodating a dark wood chair set. The kitchen is equipped with white cabinetry featuring brushed nickel hardware, ample upper and lower storage, light-toned countertops, and a stainless steel refrigerator, all set against a simple, understated backsplash. Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room provides a welcoming area anchored by a large window fitted with vertical blinds that allow natural light to filter in. The space accommodates a full sofa and side table comfortably. The residence includes two bedrooms, each carpeted and featuring sliding or hinged closets for storage. One bedroom is notably more spacious, benefiting from a window that brings in additional natural light. Both rooms maintain the same calm, neutral color palette found throughout the home. The bathroom is finished with warm beige walls, dark hardwood-style flooring, a white vanity, and brushed nickel grab bars and towel fixtures, offering both style and accessibility.

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.
