An expansive second-floor landing leads to the luxurious primary suite featuring a private entry with a barrel ceiling, oversized dressing room with custom closet built-ins, cozy fireplace, and attached office/flex space. The spa-like primary bath features Carrara marble flooring, a free-standing soaking tub, an oversized shower with multiple body sprays, and chic art-deco style vanities. Down the hall, four additional large bedrooms, two ensuite and two connected by a jack-and-jill bath, and a recently upgraded laundry room complete the second floor. But the sprawling living spaces and high-end finishes do not stop there! Continue to the expansive basement, which is an entertainer's dream. You will be sure to impress your guests with a glamorous, wrap-around wet bar and ample gathering space, featuring a fireplace and custom built-in finishes throughout. The basement also includes a workout space or 6th bedroom, full bathroom, additional recreation space, second staircase, and endless storage (including a cedar storage room).
