The spacious primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, charming built-in window bench, walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite bath with heated floors, dual vanities, soaking tub and a separate shower. Two additional main-floor bedrooms and an updated hall bath with heated floors complete the interior.
