The ensuite bedroom is utilized as an exercise room and includes an updated bath with radiant heated tile floors, tiled walls, and a standalone claw foot tub. The adjacent office is currently unheated but remains comfortable, and any of these third-floor spaces could easily transition into a secondary family room.
