This single-floor recreational space is designed for socializing and entertainment, combining a lively game room with a comfortable lounge area and a functional kitchenette. The open layout is anchored by a full-size pool table positioned at the center, accompanied by a wall-mounted cue rack and modern bar-height tables with contemporary pedestal stools along the bold teal accent wall. Two wall-mounted flat-screen TVs ensure entertainment from multiple vantage points throughout the room. The lounge area features dark leather seating — including a sofa, armchairs, and a tufted ottoman — arranged around one of the screens, creating an inviting space to relax. A large, colorful piece of artwork adds an energetic, urban aesthetic to the lounge corner. The kitchenette is outfitted with dark cabinetry, a mosaic tile backsplash, stainless steel sink, compact refrigerator, and a coffee station, making it well-suited for hosting. Rich hardwood-style flooring runs throughout, complementing the textured ceiling with recessed lighting. Large windows and a glass door provide abundant natural light and direct views and access to an outdoor area, seamlessly connecting the interior to the exterior environment.

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.
