The mudroom/laundry area impresses with style and functionality. On the main level, find a flexible guest suite or office, with adjacent full bathroom so convenient. The main level also has your Primary Suite. The Primary Suite offers a spa-like en suite with dual vanities, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate shower.
