Upstairs, the primary retreat features an ensuite bath and an adaptable room perfect for a luxury walk-in closet, nursery, or extra bedroom. Four spacious additional bedrooms, a library, a secondary kitchenette, and dual bath facilities complete the upper level, while the unfinished attic and basement provide even more potential to expand.
