This single-floor residence offers a thoughtfully designed layout that balances functionality and comfort across its key living spaces. The open-concept living and dining area serves as the heart of the home, featuring warm wood-look flooring, neutral gray walls, and a textured ceiling throughout. A ceiling fan keeps the space comfortable, while a large sliding glass door dressed with vertical blinds floods the living room with natural light and opens to a private outdoor patio. The galley-style kitchen is well-equipped, showcasing white shaker cabinetry, dark countertops, black stainless appliances including a refrigerator and electric range, and a window above the sink for added brightness. The residence includes multiple bedrooms, each finished with the same wood-look flooring, neutral tones, and textured ceilings. Bedrooms benefit from natural light via windows with sheer curtains, and closet space is provided in each room. One bedroom features a standard reach-in closet, while a hallway area leads to a generous open shelving storage closet, ideal for linens or additional organization. The overall ambiance is clean, modern, and inviting, with a cohesive neutral palette that lends itself well to a variety of interior styles.

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.
