The primary bedroom overlooks the garden and is filled with natural light, complete with ample closet space and an en-suite bathroom. Additional bedrooms provide room for family, guests, or a home office, and are complemented by a full bathroom with a stylish, contemporary design. The garden level serves as an inviting extension of the home, featuring one bedroom, a wet bar, a comfortable living area, and direct access to the backyard. This level is ideal for casual entertaining, a media room, or a private guest suite. The finished cellar adds valuable versatility, easily functioning as a recreation room, home gym, or office.
