This single-floor unit offers a thoughtfully arranged layout with a variety of architectural details that lend it considerable character. The standout feature is a generously sized curved living area, where a sweeping curved wall lined with multiple windows allows natural light to pour in from multiple angles, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Carpet flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, complementing the warm, neutral palette of cream and beige tones on the walls. A decorative fireplace with a classic white mantle serves as a focal point in the main living space, adding a traditional touch. Adjacent to the living area, a hallway leads to the remaining rooms, including a bedroom distinguished by a full exposed brick accent wall — a nod to the building's historic character — paired with carpeted flooring and a double-hung window. The kitchenette features light oak cabinetry, a laminate countertop, stainless steel sink, and hardwood flooring, providing practical functionality in a compact footprint. The bathroom is straightforward and clean, equipped with a tiled shower, toilet, single-basin vanity with under-cabinet storage, and tile flooring. The corridor connecting the rooms is lined with carpet and provides clear sightlines throughout the unit.

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.
