The upper level boasts a unique floorplan with five spacious sized bedrooms, each featuring its own en-suite bathroom. The primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by ten-foot ceilings and an expansive layout. It offers an oversized bedroom, a private sitting area with backyard views, a quiet terrace, and a cozy gas fireplace. A grand double-door custom walk-in closet with custom built-in cabinetry throughout, and a luxurious spa-inspired bathroom, complete with a grand walk-in shower, soaking tub and dual vanities, make this space the ultimate sanctuary. Continue down the hallway to discover four additional bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet. A secondary staircase at the rear of the home provides convenient access to the kitchen and great room below, while also offering a dramatic overhead view of the great room. The lower level of this home is designed for every activity, offering nearly 3,300 square feet of beautifully finished space.
