The en-suite primary bath features a marble double vanity, a deep soaking tub (seats two), and a separate shower. The home office is currently being used as an interior sleeping area, with its own closets and direct access to the second bathroom.
Lighting, thermostats, smoke detectors, and wifi are all connected via Google Home and can be controlled via voice commands with the addition of an Amazon or Google speaker.
