An entry-level bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath may also function as a private home office or study. The flexible floor plan allows the space to adapt effortlessly to your lifestyle. Both guest baths have been tastefully renovated with spa-inspired finishes, including frameless glass walk-in showers, classic subway tile accented with designer mosaic details, statement countertops, and polished chrome fixtures. The owner’s suite is a serene retreat featuring a tray ceiling, two custom walk-in closets, hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, and a modern ceiling fan. The luxurious en-suite bath showcases a double-sink vanity, a large soaking tub, and a walk-in shower finished in tumbled marble, offering timeless elegance and comfort. Additional highlights include hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas, ample storage, and a clean, functional garage with an overhead storage rack.
