Your own private deck completes the primary suite. The main level includes two additional guest bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The terrace level is designed for entertaining, offering a spacious recreation room with a wet bar, luxury vinyl flooring throughout, an additional bedroom, and a full bath. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy a newly installed flagstone and slate patio, a striking wood-burning fireplace and lower level firepit.
