The massive primary suite is a true private sanctuary, featuring an extensive walk-in closet and a luxurious, spa-like bath equipped with a separate walk-in shower and deep soaking tub.

The finished basement expands your living space exponentially, offering a versatile recreation room, a dry bar, an exercise room, and a dedicated workspace or hobby room. The separate laundry center comes loaded with storage cabinets, shelving, a utility sink, and the washer/dryer included.
