The primary suite is a true retreat, spacious enough for a king bed, with a stunning en-suite featuring tile work, a glass shower door, natural light, a private water closet, and a large walk-in closet with smart home wiring already in place. The guest bathroom features new paint and shadow box trim, with one upstairs bedroom matching the same elevated detail.
