This sophisticated two-floor space blends bold architectural character with modern finishes throughout. The upper level serves as a dramatic centerpiece, showcasing exposed dark wood beam ceilings, rich dark hardwood flooring, and an expansive open layout flooded with natural light from large, arched-accent windows on multiple sides. Sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape and landscape are visible from nearly every angle, lending the space an elevated, airy quality. A sleek iron staircase with black metal railings connects both levels with understated elegance. The kitchen is well-appointed with white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a full-size refrigerator, range, and microwave, along with a generous island topped in white quartz — ideal for both cooking and casual gatherings. The coffered, beamed ceiling continues here, adding depth and visual interest overhead. The bedrooms are bright and functional, each featuring dark hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and large windows offering city views. The bathrooms are cleanly finished — one features a white vanity with a sliding glass shower enclosure, while another showcases striking marble-effect wall panels and a quartz countertop vanity. A stacked in-unit washer and dryer provides added everyday convenience.

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.
