Both full bathrooms have been completely updated with high-end, designer finishes. Step outside to your private backyard retreat. The fenced-in yard features a custom deck and plenty of green space-an ideal setting for summer barbecues, evening hangouts, or simply unwinding under the stars. A two-car garage features upgraded epoxy floors for easy maintenance.
