Upstairs, a versatile loft/flex space provides additional room for a home office, media area, or play space. Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms offer comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The primary suite is a true retreat, showcasing pond views, two walk-in closets, dual sink vanities, and a spacious walk-in shower. An adjacent bedroom is ideal as a nursery or private study.
