This single-floor residence offers an open-concept layout defined by abundant natural light and sweeping urban skyline views. Large double-hung windows line the living area, framing impressive cityscape panoramas and drawing in generous sunlight throughout the day. The smooth white ceilings complement the warm-toned parquet wood flooring, which runs throughout the space and adds a classic, textural contrast to the contemporary furnishings. The living area serves as the central hub of the home, anchored by a large sectional sofa and a white coffee table atop a patterned area rug. Decorative geometric star wall accents add an artistic, modern touch to the space. A flat-screen television sits atop a bold yellow media console, contributing a vibrant pop of color. The open layout seamlessly connects the living area to a dining space and kitchen, which features a peninsula counter with bar seating — ideal for casual dining. The kitchen maintains a functional, clean aesthetic that integrates naturally into the broader living space. Multiple window clusters throughout the unit ensure consistent natural light from several orientations, reinforcing the airy, elevated feel of this well-appointed urban residence.

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.
