Upstairs, a rare and desirable back staircase leads to a spacious bonus room, currently used as a home gym. This level also features a guest suite with a private bath, a media room with wet bar and closet (ideal as a fifth bedroom) and additional generously sized bedrooms. Function meets convenience with a main-floor laundry room complete with cabinetry and a utility sink. A two-car garage and three walk-in attic spaces providing abundant storage.
