Both bathrooms have gorgeous glass shower enclosures. The main bath includes a rain shower and the accompanying dressing area includes a large built in chest of drawers. Closets line the wall of both bedrooms providing a generous amount of storage not seen in most condos. The guest room with murphy bed doubles as a comfortable at home office and media room.
