This single-floor space offers a thoughtfully designed layout that combines classic architectural character with mid-century modern furnishings. The main living and sleeping area is generously proportioned, featuring warm hardwood floors, crown molding, and a row of wide windows that flood the room with natural light and offer views of outdoor greenery. A cast-iron radiator underscores the building's classic heritage, while the soft grey walls and carefully curated décor — including a walnut credenza, glass-topped coffee table, and coordinated artwork — create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. A seating area with a grey upholstered sofa flows naturally alongside the sleeping quarters, making efficient use of the open layout. The kitchen area is equipped with a stainless steel refrigerator, a utility sink with granite-look countertops, and white cabinetry with open shelving — providing functional storage and prep space. The light marble-patterned tile flooring in the kitchen contrasts with the warm hardwood in the living area. Throughout the space, attention to detail is evident in the clean white trim, neutral color palette, and well-placed greenery, resulting in a functional yet stylish environment with a calm, residential ambiance.

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.
