The primary suite opens to the backyard with floor-to-ceiling sliders framing Dana Headlands below. A spa-like bath features dual sinks, soaking tub, reeded-glass windows, & walk-in shower with dual heads. Two guest baths continue the theme: elevated materials & stylish design. Three generous guest bedrooms - one, a perfect home office with large window walls to the rear yard. A central laundry room with ample white oak storage accommodates a stackable. Spacious outdoor wraparound yard offers multiple zones to lounge, dine, & entertain with an in-line gas fire pit, new turf, & futured ADU hook-ups.
