The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a luxurious marble bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in closet, and a fireplace. Four additional bedrooms and a bonus room round out the second level. For you design lovers, renowned Michigan designer Mark Manardo sprinkled the house with his magic including all Schumacher wallpaper.
