The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with double closets and a spa-inspired bath showcasing designer tilework and an oversized rain shower. Upstairs, a spacious open loft provides incredible flexibility for a home office, reading lounge, additional sleeping area, or playroom, all while overlooking the dramatic scenery below. Designed with entertaining in mind, the lower level offers an exceptional gathering space complete with an expansive game room, theater room with wet bar, and direct access to covered outdoor living areas overlooking the lake and mountains. Two additional guest bedrooms, a dedicated fitness room, full bath, and laundry room complete the thoughtfully designed lower level.
