The main level also conveniently hosts a full guest suite, a versatile den that can serve as a 6th bedroom, a primary laundry room, and a secondary rear staircase. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite acts as a private sanctuary, complete with a dedicated sitting retreat, high ceilings, a third fireplace, a multi-blade ceiling fan, and a spa-inspired bath offering a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and an additional laundry setup. Three secondary bedrooms, two full baths, and a large bonus activity room - easily convertible to a 6th or 7th bedroom - complete the upper level. Outside, the resort-style backyard is designed for high-end entertaining and everyday relaxation, featuring mature landscaping, a PebbleTec pool with a cascading waterfall, an integrated spa, a built-in BBQ island, a private putting green, a covered patio, and a separate shade pergola for lounging. Additional highlights include a fully paid-off solar system, dual-pane vinyl windows and sliders, luxury panel flooring, and custom window coverings throughout.
