This well-appointed studio space combines classic architectural character with a modern, functional layout. Rich hardwood floors run throughout, anchoring the space with warmth and elegance. Crown molding and a distinctive arched window alcove lend a timeless, refined quality to the interior, while crisp white trim contrasts beautifully against a calming blue accent wall that adds depth and personality. The sleeping area is nestled within the arched alcove, framed by white shuttered blinds that allow for natural light control. A ceiling fan with a brass fixture provides both style and practicality overhead. The lounge area features a plush gray sofa accented with green and teal throw pillows, paired with a light green area rug and two sleek white ottomans that serve as a coffee table, creating a cozy and inviting gathering spot. Wall art, including a city map print and a colorful abstract piece, adds visual interest and a personal touch to the space. Tasteful table lamps provide warm ambient lighting throughout. A dining or workspace area is positioned near the entry, keeping the layout efficient without feeling cramped. The overall ambiance is bright, cohesive, and thoughtfully designed, making excellent use of the single-floor layout.

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.
