This multi-story residence spans three floors, offering a versatile layout designed to accommodate a variety of living arrangements. The main living area is finished with wall-to-wall carpeting in a warm, neutral tone that adds a sense of comfort underfoot. Smooth, light beige walls run throughout the space, creating a clean and cohesive aesthetic that allows for easy personalization with furnishings and décor. A classic white-painted staircase with a traditional baluster railing serves as a central architectural feature, connecting the floors with a timeless, clean-lined design. The staircase is positioned to allow for an open feel in the main living space, with sight lines extending across the room. Doorways and open passages lead to adjoining rooms, hinting at a functional and well-connected floor plan across all three levels. White baseboards provide a crisp contrast against the neutral walls and carpet, adding a finished, polished look throughout. The overall ambiance is understated and move-in ready, presenting a blank canvas well-suited for customization. The multi-floor layout provides natural separation between living, sleeping, and utility spaces, making this a practical and spacious property.

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.
