This sophisticated lobby and amenity space makes a striking first impression with its soaring double-height ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows that flood the interior with natural light and offer views of the surrounding courtyard. Large-format light stone tile flooring extends throughout, anchoring the space with a clean, polished aesthetic. The centerpiece of the main lounge area is a dramatic floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace, flanked by generous seating arrangements featuring tan leather sofas and classic tufted armchairs. Lush greenery and layered area rugs add warmth and texture to the otherwise contemporary design. Living moss wall accents frame the upper window panels, adding a unique organic element to the architecture. A well-appointed bar-style counter with a striking marble waterfall surface and dark wood cabinetry serves as a focal point near the entryway, complemented by pendant lighting and bar stool seating. Nearby, a stainless steel elevator provides convenient vertical access. A dedicated business center offers a functional retreat with high-top bar seating, a mounted flat-screen display, and a textured accent wall with warm wood framing. Additional seating areas throughout provide flexible spaces for work or socializing. The overall ambiance blends contemporary design with inviting, residential warmth.

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.
