The property’s spacious bedrooms can be found on the main level, 3rd level and lower level and each feature a private ensuite bath. The flex space includes two Murphy beds for overflow guests. The top level of the home, reminiscent of a Lantern Room, offers an ideal space to escape and take in a good book while relaxing on the comfy custom cushions.
