Matterport 3D Tour

This single-story, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers a practical and efficient layout designed to maximize every square foot. The open living area features warm wood-look laminate flooring and a ceiling fan, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Natural light filters in through a large window fitted with vertical blinds, adding to the sense of openness. The kitchen is positioned adjacent to the living space and includes white cabinetry, a granite-style countertop with a breakfast bar overhang, a white electric range, and a sink — providing a compact yet fully functional cooking area. Both bedrooms continue the wood-look flooring theme and are equipped with ceiling fans. The primary bedroom includes a sliding double-door closet offering useful built-in storage, while a window provides natural light and outdoor views of surrounding greenery. The second bedroom similarly benefits from natural light through its own window. The shared full bathroom features a white vanity with cabinet storage, a mirrored medicine cabinet, and a window that brings in natural light, all set against consistent wood-look flooring. Textured ceilings are present throughout the home, adding a classic finishing detail to each room.

School data provided by 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.
