Just down the hall, you will be amazed at the main-floor bedroom with its comfy sitting area and roomy walk-in closet. The main bathroom is fully equipped for relaxation via the jetted, soaking bathtub. Ceramic tile flooring and granite countertops adorn this perfect retreat! Head up the low-rise staircase and find a world of room beyond! Featuring a huge den or family room with a full bathroom, tub/shower combo, large storage closets, PLUS two other bonus rooms for some overnight guests or not.
