This single-floor space is thoughtfully laid out, offering a connected living and dining area as its central hub. The open-concept design is anchored by a standout curved brick fireplace set in the corner of the living room, adding a warm, classic architectural detail. Light-toned ceramic tile flooring runs consistently throughout the space, lending a clean, cohesive appearance. The living area benefits from natural light via a sliding glass door fitted with vertical blinds, which provides access to an outdoor area. A ceiling fan overhead and a decorative arched niche add functional and aesthetic character to the open layout. The kitchen is equipped with white cabinetry, speckled countertops, a tile backsplash, a gas range with overhead ventilation, and a built-in sink — offering a practical and organized workspace. Bedrooms are generously proportioned, each featuring wide windows with blinds that allow for natural light, and textured ceilings throughout. One bedroom connects directly to a bathroom, which includes a long vanity with drawers, a tiled tub-shower combination, and tile flooring. A separate closet space is also accessible from the bathroom area, adding convenient storage.

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.
