Matterport 3D Tour

This single-floor studio unit offers an open, efficiently designed layout that seamlessly combines the living and kitchen areas into one cohesive space. Wood-look tile flooring runs throughout, providing a warm and durable surface that ties the interior together. A standout architectural detail is the painted brick-style block wall, which adds texture and character to the main living area, complementing the clean white trim and neutral color palette. The kitchen is positioned along one wall and is equipped with warm-toned wood cabinetry, a granite-patterned countertop, a stainless steel sink, a gas range with oven, and a full-size refrigerator. An overhead range hood with built-in lighting provides both function and a defined boundary between the kitchen and living space. The living area is bright and open, benefiting from natural light through a window fitted with vertical blinds. A ceiling fan with an integrated light fixture anchors the ceiling and provides both ventilation and illumination. A mirrored sliding closet door reflects light and adds a sense of depth to the space. A separate bathroom is accessible through a doorway, and a wall-mounted heater provides climate control. The overall ambiance is clean, practical, and move-in ready, making efficient use of every square foot.
