The main level also includes a formal dining room, elegant living room, private den, and mudroom. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite has a fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like marble bath with radiant floors, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms—one with an en suite bath—and two more full baths complete the second level. A finished third floor provides flexible space for a fifth bedroom or office. The lower level, with high ceilings, is unfinished and ready to be transformed into additional living space.
