Located in Lacey, Washington, this thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers a clean, modern aesthetic throughout its single-floor layout. The open-concept living area welcomes you with light hardwood flooring, crisp white walls, and ample natural light streaming through large windows that overlook the surrounding community. The kitchen is a functional centerpiece, featuring white shaker-style cabinetry, granite-look quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator and microwave, and a peninsula with an undermount sink — ideal for both cooking and casual dining. Both bathrooms echo the kitchen's refined style, with white vanity cabinetry, quartz countertops, brushed nickel hardware, and well-lit vanity mirrors. One bathroom includes a shower-tub combination, while the other offers a walk-in shower. The two bedrooms are carpeted for comfort and include windows that bring in natural light and neighborhood views. The primary bedroom offers a generous footprint with ample wall space. The second bedroom, though more compact, is equally bright and comfortable. A connecting hallway ties the layout together seamlessly. Throughout the residence, the consistent use of neutral tones, quality finishes, and modern fixtures creates a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

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.
