Downstairs, a flexible freshly painted second living area includes custom built-ins, natural light, and a private bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in shower, ideal for guests, in-laws, or a work-from-home setup. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with laminate wood flooring, recessed lighting, and a beautifully refinished private balcony, along with an updated en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.
