This well-appointed single-floor residence offers a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen is a standout feature, showcasing sleek white upper cabinetry paired with warm wood-toned lower cabinets and a textured mosaic tile backsplash. A full suite of stainless steel appliances includes a refrigerator, gas range, over-the-range microwave, and dishwasher, all complemented by light countertops and an undermount sink. Rich hardwood flooring runs throughout the kitchen and entry areas, adding warmth and contrast to the clean, modern aesthetic. A portable island provides additional prep and dining space, enhancing the kitchen's functionality. The open living area transitions to soft, neutral carpeting, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame views of the surrounding urban streetscape, including neighboring residential buildings. The crisp white walls throughout maintain a bright, airy feel. The overall design reflects a contemporary urban sensibility, balancing clean lines, quality finishes, and practical livability in a cohesive and well-lit 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.
