The second floor has two bedroom suites with private baths and ample closets. A third and fourth bedroom share a jack-and-jill bath with two sinks and separate commode and tub-shower room. There is also a huge play room/bonus room with its new carpet and many dormer windows. Stairs to the third floor lead to a Holiday Golf driving range simulator and built-in putting green.
