Thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle, the property features three bedroom suites, including a luxurious primary retreat with a spa-inspired bath complete with double vanities and a fireplace elegantly positioned beside the soaking tub—creating a true sanctuary experience. A secondary primary suite offers its own ensuite bath and fireplace, while a full bath on the main level adds flexibility for guests.

Natural light cascades throughout, accentuating the home's elegant proportions and warm, inviting ambiance. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a spacious & private fenced-in rear patio, a detached two-car garage, and an additional exterior parking space.
