Upstairs, a custom stained-glass window and skylight add architectural charm. The primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, greenery views, and coastal breezes. Its spa-inspired bath includes a walk-in closet with built-ins, dual sinks, custom cabinetry, an Ove smart toilet, and a multi-spray shower with frameless glass enclosure. Bathrooms feature granite counters, stone floors and wainscoting, stainless-steel sinks, and Hansgrohe fixtures, while the secondary bath includes a spa tub.
Additional upgrades include double-pane tinted windows, whole-house water filtration, complete re-plumbing, upgraded electrical, a tankless water heater, modern shades, and a Nest thermostat. Two secondary bedrooms provide flexibility, including one with custom office built-ins. The two-car garage offers storage cabinetry and soundproofed adjoining walls. An energy-efficient Asko washer and dryer are included.
