The expansive, classic hallway with period light fixtures and both linen and coat closets leads to the home's private living quarters. The incredible master bedroom suite features a huge walk-in custom closet and an outstanding remodeled en-suite bath with dual vanity sink and big walk-in shower. Two additional good-size bedrooms and a second tastefully remodeled designer tile full bath with shower over tub and vanity sink with mirror end this floor.

The spacious patio overlooking the mature landscaped yard and garden with colorful plants and trees completes this truly special home!
