This single-floor residence offers an open and airy layout that combines the living, dining, and kitchen areas into one cohesive space. The living room is finished with plush wall-to-wall carpeting and features a full-width sliding glass door that floods the interior with natural light and provides direct access to an outdoor balcony, offering pleasant greenery views beyond. The textured ceiling adds a classic architectural touch throughout the space. The kitchen is positioned along the interior wall and is defined by a raised breakfast bar counter that serves as a natural divider between the living and cooking areas. Above the counter, a mounted black cabinet or media shelf adds a functional focal point. The kitchen is equipped with a sink and features light-toned cabinetry and countertops, creating a clean and practical workspace. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area benefits from an elegant pendant chandelier that anchors the space and adds a touch of warmth. The neutral, light-toned walls throughout enhance the sense of openness and allow natural light to reflect freely across each area. Together, the spaces create a welcoming, functional, and well-connected single-floor living environment.

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.
