The substantial primary suite is a private retreat complete with its own fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired marble bathroom featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a private water closet. Each bedroom enjoys direct access to the central courtyard through elegant French doors, filling the home with natural light and a sense of openness. Beyond the living spaces lies a central patio and verdant, terraced backyard, offering multiple areas for al fresco dining, play, or quiet reflection.
