This thoughtfully designed single-floor residence combines contemporary style with functional living. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen and living area, creating an inviting and airy atmosphere bathed in natural light from large windows. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a slide-in range, built-in microwave, and French door refrigerator, complemented by white upper cabinetry, warm wood-toned lower cabinetry, and crisp quartz countertops. A peninsula with bar seating and an undermount sink adds both utility and a social focal point to the space. Light hardwood flooring flows throughout, enhancing the home's bright, cohesive aesthetic. The living area offers a welcoming retreat with ample space for entertaining. Two well-proportioned bedrooms each feature windows that bring in natural light and views of the surrounding area. The primary bedroom is accompanied by a spacious walk-in closet with built-in wire shelving and a private en-suite bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed shower, wood-toned vanity, and large-format tile flooring. A second full bathroom mirrors the refined design with a similarly styled vanity and neutral tile finishes. A hallway lined with louvered storage doors and framed artwork completes the home's polished, contemporary character.

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.
