Also downstairs is a dedicated study or office with a glass-accented pocket door for privacy, a finished laundry area with all new Samsung stack washer and dryer, and direct access to the main living spaces. Upstairs are two spacious guest bedrooms and a fully upgraded bathroom, creating separation for guests, kids, work, or flex space.
