The expansive primary suite features two generous closets and a spa-like en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath, while a third bedroom enjoys its own en-suite. Convenient laundry completes the upper level. The finished basement delivers it all — a home gym, entertainment area, kids' play space, and dedicated storage.
