This thoughtfully laid-out single-floor unit makes efficient use of its compact footprint, offering a functional and comfortable living arrangement. The combined kitchen and living area forms the heart of the space, where warm honey-toned wood cabinetry pairs with a stainless steel sink and a white electric range along one wall, while the open living zone benefits from two large windows that invite generous natural light and are fitted with adjustable blinds for privacy. A ceiling fan overhead provides both airflow and ambient lighting. Baseboard heating runs along the perimeter walls, ensuring consistent warmth throughout. Light wood-toned laminate flooring flows seamlessly across the entire unit, lending a clean, cohesive aesthetic. A dedicated closet with classic six-panel double doors provides practical storage. The bathroom is neatly appointed with light tile flooring, a white vanity with under-sink storage, a medicine cabinet with mirror, and a strip light fixture above. Neutral gray and white tones throughout the unit create a bright, airy atmosphere. A short hallway connects the main areas and leads to the entry door, completing this well-organized and move-in-ready space.

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.
