This single-floor unit offers a thoughtfully designed layout that balances functionality and comfort. The open-concept living and dining area is finished with rich, dark hardwood-style flooring and neutral warm-toned walls, creating a welcoming atmosphere. A peninsula-style breakfast bar connects the living space to the kitchen, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is outfitted with sleek white cabinetry extending to the ceiling for ample storage, a classic subway tile backsplash, a stainless steel top-freezer refrigerator, and a built-in sink — all tied together with matching hardwood-style flooring that continues from the living area. The bedroom is a quiet retreat featuring plush carpeting, baseboard heating, and a generously sized window that fills the room with natural light and offers views of the surrounding neighborhood. An additional room with hardwood-style flooring, a wall-mounted air conditioning unit, and baseboard heating provides flexible use as a second bedroom, office, or den. The bathroom is finished with clean white tiled walls and a bathtub-shower combination equipped with chrome fixtures, maintaining a simple and tidy aesthetic throughout.

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.
