This two-story space offers a practical and comfortable layout with an open-concept design connecting the main living area to the kitchen. The living room serves as the focal point of the main floor, anchored by a tile-surround fireplace with a classic dark tile hearth and surround, adding warmth and character to the space. Rich, dark hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level, providing a grounded, cohesive aesthetic. The kitchen is accessible directly from the living area, featuring white cabinetry, dark granite or stone countertops, and a dark tile backsplash that adds visual contrast. A breakfast bar provides additional seating and further integrates the kitchen with the living space. Stainless steel appliances, including a microwave and range, complete the kitchen's functional setup. The ceilings feature a textured finish, and neutral beige walls provide a versatile backdrop throughout. Overhead lighting in the kitchen offers functional illumination. A staircase leads to the second floor, expanding the overall living space. The overall ambiance is warm and inviting, with practical finishes suited for everyday living.

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.
