A secondary staircase provides additional access to the upper level. The private upper level is anchored by a luxurious owner’s suite, featuring a vaulted tray ceiling, sitting room, and a balcony overlooking the backyard. The spa-like en suite bath includes marble-tiled flooring, a jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanities with built-in cabinetry, along with two spacious walk-in closets.
