Completing the primary bath is direct access to a new deck, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The second bedroom on this floor is also nice in size with large windows and exposed brick wall. A charming sitting nook adds a cozy touch to this level, along with an additional stylish full bath showcasing black/white tile flooring, tub/shower combination with a tiled surround and a uniquely shaped custom vanity. The 3rd floor is a versatile space which features a large open bedroom/workspace with light colored carpeting, exposed brick walls and an exterior door which leads to yet another deck!
