The primary suite is wonderful w/vaulted ceiling & fireplace, a luxurious bath, separate office & walk-in closet. The 2nd floor also features 3 generously sized ensuite bedrms plus a sitting rm. The lower level completes the home w/a bedrm/full bath, rec rm, exercise rm, theater, wine cellar & huge laundry rm.
