A laundry room, pantry, and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the master suite offers two closets, a master bath in a happy, blue hue, and a view of the bay and SM Bridge. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upstairs. Two separate patio areas in the backyard provides plenty of space for seating, dining al-fresco, a fire pit and more. A versatile shed can be a workshop, office, pub shed, or whatever one chooses!
