This thoughtfully designed single-floor space blends contemporary aesthetics with warm, natural materials throughout. The open-concept kitchen is a standout feature, showcasing a striking marble waterfall island with leather-upholstered bar stools, dark wood cabinetry, and a distinctive ceiling detail of wood slat beams adorned with globe pendant lights. Adjacent to the kitchen, a bright dining area with a round table and modern chairs is separated by a sleek glass partition, adding openness while maintaining definition between spaces. The lounge area exudes a curated, artistic character, anchored by a rich amber sofa accented with blue and mixed-pattern throw pillows. Solid wood cube coffee tables serve as both functional and decorative elements, while a gallery wall of colorful jazz-themed art prints adds cultural personality. A wall-mounted fireplace with a built-in media center and floor-to-ceiling windows draw the eye toward an outdoor balcony, offering expansive views of the surrounding cityscape and landscape. Natural light pours through the large sliding glass doors, seamlessly connecting the interior to the balcony. Warm wood accent walls, a sliding barn door, and light-toned large-format tile flooring provide cohesion throughout. The accessible bathroom features dark stone tile walls, chrome grab bars, and clean, minimal fixtures, reflecting both function and design precision. Recessed lighting throughout enhances the space's modern and welcoming ambiance.

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.
