The main level welcomes you with a spacious open floor plan, featuring a fully-stocked kitchen and a dining area for eight. Sink into plush new couches in the living room, where designer rugs and a hearth fireplace create an ambiance of comfort and relaxation. A convenient half bath, laundry room, and wraparound deck offer perfect spots to savor your morning coffee or bask in the sweeping views.
The master bedroom, which is on the main floor, indulges with a California King-size bed and beautiful NEW master bathroom spa shower with floor to ceiling glass enclosure. With sleek, modern fixtures and premium tiling, this sanctuary promises to elevate your stay to new heights of relaxation and rejuvenation. Check out the pictures of this luxurious bathroom.
