A bedroom located at the front of the home offers an ideal guest retreat, while a beautifully designed office or den welcomes you upon entry, highlighted by three bay windows that fill the space with natural light. This office/den is enclosed with French doors, making it an ideal flex space for working from home, a media room, or additional entertaining. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with custom his-and-her closets and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling tile, a glass-enclosed shower, and plantation shutters. A conveniently located half bath enhances functionality for guests and gatherings.
