The main-level primary suite is a peaceful escape featuring water views, private access to the back deck, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite that includes quartz countertops, a luxurious soaking tub, and beautiful tile flooring. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, including a second primary suite with its own ensuite bath featuring granite countertops and private access to the upper sundeck offering spectacular elevated views of the pond and surrounding landscape. The 3rd bedroom connected by the catwalk, also opens onto the sundeck. Finally, a 4th bedroom and a shared bathroom complete the upstairs. High ceilings throughout the home enhance its spacious feel, while thoughtful storage is found in the walk-in attic, pull-down attic access, and the neat, organized garage-level storage area.
