The main level also offers two spacious bedrooms, an additional room that can be used as a dining room along with a beautifully appointed full bath featuring marble tile, a floating vanity, illuminated mirror, and sophisticated gold accents that elevate the space with spa-like elegance. Upstairs, you'll find two private owner's suites, each complete with oversized walk-in closets featuring premium custom hardware.
