The original 2 bedrooms and bath are on a hallway off the living room and split from the primary suite. The primary suite is an exceptional addition, featuring a large bedroom, an ensuite bath, and an expansive walk-in closet for modern living. The sun-filled den, also added by previous owners, is ideal for relaxation or as a family gathering space. New windows throughout the home enhance energy efficiency and security.
