This single-floor unit is finished with warm-toned light wood flooring that runs consistently throughout every room, creating a cohesive and inviting aesthetic. The open-concept living area is bright and spacious, benefiting from natural light admitted through a sliding glass door that opens to an outdoor area. A ceiling fan overhead adds practical comfort to the living space, which flows naturally toward the kitchen. The kitchen is well-appointed with warm oak cabinetry—both upper and lower—complemented by a neutral countertop, a stainless steel sink, and a full suite of white appliances including a range, over-the-range microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. An adjacent utility area houses a stacked washer and dryer, providing convenient in-unit laundry access. The unit includes two bathrooms. The full bathroom features a vanity with medium-toned wood cabinetry, a white countertop, and a tub/shower combination with a curtain. The second bathroom offers a similar vanity setup alongside a toilet, finished with the same light wood flooring. Both bedrooms are generously sized, finished in clean white walls, and feature ceiling fans or windows that allow natural light to enter.

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.
