This thoughtfully designed single-floor unit offers a contemporary living environment with a clean, minimalist aesthetic throughout. The open layout maximizes the available footprint, with light wood flooring running continuously through the main living and kitchen areas to create a cohesive, airy feel. The kitchen is outfitted with flat-front cabinetry in a muted blue-gray finish, white countertops, stainless steel appliances including a built-in microwave, electric range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, and a single-basin sink with a brushed gold faucet. Wall-mounted open shelving adds additional storage and visual interest above the counter line. The living area benefits from dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows framed in dark metal, allowing abundant natural light and offering elevated views of the surrounding urban streetscape and neighboring rooftops. A secondary room features its own window access and includes a built-in closet with sliding doors, dual hanging rods, and integrated shelving for organized storage. The bathroom is finished with large-format marble-look wall tiles in the tub-shower surround, complemented by a floating vanity with a backlit mirror, white countertop, and neutral floor tiles. A sliding barn-style door accents the bathroom entry, adding a modern architectural detail to the overall design.

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.
