This contemporary single-floor space is thoughtfully designed with a clean, modern aesthetic throughout. The open-concept lounge serves as the centerpiece, featuring a tufted caramel leather sofa, a wall-mounted fireplace, and a flat-screen TV — all set against crisp white walls and durable wood-toned flooring. Large sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the lounge with natural light while offering direct views of and access to a furnished outdoor terrace, where city skyline views can be enjoyed. Recessed lighting and modern wall sconces complement the airy ambiance. The dining area is equally refined, anchored by a solid walnut-toned table surrounded by cognac leather chairs. A striking multi-globe brass chandelier adds a contemporary design accent, and a sliding glass door connects the space to the outdoor terrace with a gas grill. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, an island with a cooktop and overhead range hood, gray quartz countertops, white cabinetry, and a wall-mounted TV — making it as functional as it is stylish. Together, these spaces create a versatile, well-appointed environment ideal for gathering, dining, and entertaining.

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.
