All five bedrooms are upstairs, including a primary suite with a masonry fireplace and spa-like bath wrapped in Calacatta Bettogli marble, with dual walnut vanities, a soaking tub, and oversized steam shower. Grohe SPA fixtures throughout, European oak flooring, solid walnut doors, Baldwin hardware, and Fleetwood windows and doors further elevate the interiors. A third-floor family room and bar lead to 1,154 square feet of rooftop deck space with an outdoor kitchen. Additional features include a 3-car garage, elevator, three-unit Bosch HVAC system, rooftop solar with battery storage, dual Bosch tankless water heaters, and three masonry fireplaces.
