Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a private retreat complete with a vaulted ceiling, a custom accent wall, and a large walk-in closet. The spa-inspired bath features a freestanding soaking tub, custom-tiled shower, dual vanities, and a separate washroom. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and second-floor laundry provide both comfort and convenience.
