All bathrooms are fully upgraded with dual sinks and walk in showers and heated floors. Off the living room, a private wine cellar is perfect for collectors or entertainers alike. Builder was meticulous in crafting the mahogany window casings, inlays for decor, and wood beamed ceilings. Truly must see to appreciate.
