An all important half bath and access to the private gated parking are also found on this floor.

Boasting five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, the floor plan allows for tremendous flexibility with absolute respect to privacy. The homes second floor currently acts as a luxurious primary suite. The generous bedroom accommodates not only a king-sized sleeping area but also a delightful sitting room.
