The half-story upstairs has its own guest suite with a full bath. Please note that approximately 219 sq. ft. outside of the bedroom is not included in the living square footage upstairs due to lower ceiling height but still provides valuable functional space, including a full bathroom, closet, and sitting area. A separate mother-in-law suite, which is attached yet offers a private entrance, provides flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential rental income and accounts for one of the bedrooms and bathrooms.
