The second full bathroom features marble flooring, a soaking tub with a handheld shower, extensive built-in cabinetry and Electrolux washer & dryer with an externally ducted dryer vent. Comfort is ensured year-round with a four-zone HVAC, including Mitsubishi ceiling cassette systems serving the bedrooms and primary bath, along with ducted central air for the main living areas. Hunter Douglas top-down/bottom-up shades throughout, motorized shades in the primary bedroom, plantation shutters, custom closets, luxury hardware, and designer finishes complete this meticulously renovated home.
