The primary suite is incredible! It has a luxurious bedroom with fireplace, a sitting room with balcony access, a massive walk-in closet, and a light-filled bathroom with dual vanities, heated floors (NuHeat), a freestanding jetted tub, and a deluxe marble shower with steam and multiple spray heads. The fully finished walk-out basement is an entertainer's dream, complete with a full bar, billiards room, two expansive recreation rooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a bedroom, and a second full kitchen-perfect for hosting on any scale.
