This single-floor space showcases a distinct industrial-loft aesthetic, combining raw architectural details with functional living areas in an open-plan layout. Exposed ductwork and structural beams run across the ceiling, complemented by polished concrete floors that extend throughout the space, lending an urban, warehouse-inspired character. The kitchen is well-appointed with rich, dark wood cabinetry spanning the full length of the wall, paired with a mosaic tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, and range. A compact bistro-style dining table with modern seating sits adjacent to the kitchen, creating an intimate dining nook. The living and workspace area benefits from a generous row of large windows along one wall, flooding the interior with natural light and offering views of the surrounding urban environment. A dedicated workspace features a desk and seating arrangement, while decorative elements including a patterned area rug, indoor plants, and curated accessories add warmth to the otherwise industrial palette. Linear fluorescent pendant lighting provides additional illumination throughout.

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.
