The primary suite is a private retreat featuring two walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding Victoria Albert Tub soaking tub, perrin and rowe fixures, rain shower, marble bathroom, separate vanities and sinks, heated floors. 2nd Floor Laundry room and 3 additional bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms dedicated to them.
