This thoughtfully renovated single-floor space offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic throughout, unified by light wood-tone luxury flooring and soft neutral grey walls that create a calm, inviting atmosphere. The open living area is generously proportioned, bathed in natural light from multiple windows fitted with white horizontal blinds. Recessed ceiling lighting complements the natural light, and a classic radiator provides efficient heating. The layout provides ample flexibility for a variety of furniture arrangements. The kitchen is efficiently designed with a functional galley-style layout. It features two-tone cabinetry—crisp white upper cabinets paired with dark lower cabinets—topped with light quartz countertops. Stainless steel appliances, including a full-size refrigerator, an electric range with overhead microwave, and a stainless sink, complete this well-appointed space. A tile backsplash with a wood-grain pattern adds a warm, modern touch. The bedroom offers a comfortable footprint with a built-in closet, recessed lighting, and a window allowing in natural light. Clean white Shaker-style doors and trim throughout maintain the unit's cohesive, modern design language. The full bathroom is elegantly finished with large-format light tile flooring, white subway tile walls accented by a decorative mosaic tile border, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with a built-in bench, and a dark wood vanity. A small window provides natural ventilation. An additional open room offers versatile space suitable for a home office or flex room.

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.
