A stylish powder room and oversized laundry room with granite countertops, built-ins, front-load washer and dryer, and concealed ironing station add everyday convenience.

The luxurious primary suite serves as a true private retreat, highlighted by a stunning floor-to-ceiling fireplace, spacious sitting area, spa-inspired bath with heated floors, oversized walk-in shower, private water closet, and expansive walk-in closet.

Upstairs, a graceful bridge overlooks the living room below and leads to a private guest suite with its own bath and walk-in closet. A spacious home office supports today's work-from-home lifestyle, while the oversized bonus room offers endless possibilities as a media room, playroom, studio, additional bedroom, or part of a second-floor in-law suite.
