The second floor has 3 bedrooms with en-suite baths, including the sunny primary suite featuring an extra-large bath with dual sinks, walk-in shower, and copper soaking tub; spacious walk-in closet with built-ins throughout; and a large bank of windows overlooking the pool and grounds. The exterior is just as perfect as the interior, with a large heated pool, bluestone terrace, and extensive grounds.
