The primary suite is indeed a serene retreat, highlighted by a beautifully designed vaulted tray ceiling with intricate millwork, a striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and built-in bookcases. New carpet has been installed in the Primary and the private separate sitting room, creating both comfort and sophistication. The updated primary bath features NEW porcelain flooring, a NEW deep soaking tub, and a NEWLY tiled shower. The enhanced custom closet includes NEW porcelain flooring and a secret room behind a mirrored door containing an infrared sauna.

For convenience, there is an additional set of steps on the far end of the loft that leads to the main floor for those midnight or anytime snacks. Yes, there’s more… the terrace level is primarily finished and currently serves as an artist's studio. A wall was removed to enhance the studio, but could be reinstalled to create a 5th bedroom. With the full bath in place, this area could be converted into a teen or mother-in-law suite. There is an unfinished room that is perfect for storage or a workshop, including a free-standing metal sink.
