The home continues to impress upstairs with a spacious primary suite, complete with a sun-filled sitting room, a luxurious marble bathroom, and ample closets. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms on this floor offer comfort and convenience, while the third floor adds even more space with three additional bedrooms, a family room, and plenty of storage.
The property has seen extensive updates, including modernized bathrooms, a refreshed kitchen, and a fully updated guest house with its own washer and dryer. Comfort is ensured year-round with a newly installed four-zone heat pump system and redundant hot water radiator heat.
