This single-floor unit offers a practical and well-organized layout designed to maximize functionality. The open-concept living area serves as the heart of the space, featuring wood-look laminate flooring, neutral gray walls, and a textured ceiling. Natural light filters in through a large sliding glass door fitted with vertical blinds, while a ceiling fan adds to the room's comfort. The kitchen is situated adjacent to the living area and is accessible via a peninsula counter that doubles as a casual dining surface. Designed in a galley style, the kitchen features white cabinetry, laminate countertops, a tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave, and an electric range. Two bedrooms offer quiet retreats, each finished with plush carpet, neutral-toned walls, a textured ceiling, and windows with vertical blinds that admit natural light. The unit includes two bathrooms: one full bath equipped with a tub-shower combination, wood-look flooring, and clean white finishes, and a second bath featuring a spacious vanity with a wide mirror, ample counter space, and white cabinetry. A private water closet provides an additional layer of separation. Throughout, the unit maintains a clean, understated aesthetic with consistent neutral tones and updated fixtures.

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.
