This single-floor residence offers a thoughtfully arranged layout across several distinct living spaces. The living room serves as the central gathering area, featuring light tile flooring, neutral walls, and an arched opening that leads to a private balcony with outdoor views of surrounding greenery. Adjacent to the living room, the dining area benefits from an open connection to both the living space and kitchen, with a pass-through window adding architectural interest and enhancing the sense of openness. The kitchen is equipped with white cabinetry featuring decorative hardware, a drop ceiling with grid paneling, tile flooring, and full-size appliances including an electric range and a top-freezer refrigerator. A light countertop runs along the perimeter, providing functional workspace. Both bedrooms are carpeted and bathed in natural light from multiple windows. The primary bedroom is generously sized and includes a walk-in closet. An additional flexible room with carpet and a louvered closet door offers versatile use as a guest room, office, or play area. Two full bathrooms each include a tub-shower combination with tiled surrounds, a vanity with storage below, and tile flooring, maintaining a clean and cohesive aesthetic throughout the residence.

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.
