Additional bedrooms and baths are equally refined, with carefully selected finishes and abundant natural light throughout. On the garden level, a fully finished two-bedroom rental apartment provides outstanding flexibility ideal for income generation, guest accommodations, or extended living, while the landscaped backyard, planted along the entire perimeter, creates a private outdoor oasis.
