The staircase leads up to the private primary bedroom, a spacious retreat with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a bonus loft area with built-in shelving that works beautifully as a home office, reading nook, or dressing area. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a large open family room, a second full bath with a walk-in shower, laundry, and plenty of closet storage.
