A separate laundry area with Bosch washer and dryer adds seamless practicality to the daily rhythm of the home. The private quarters are a sanctuary unto themselves. The primary suite is expansive and serene, featuring two custom-fitted closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom designed as a true retreat, complete with radiant heated floors, a steam shower, deep soaking tub, double sinks, and a separate windowed water closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms, each with their own en-suite windowed bath, provide comfort and privacy for family or guests. A staff bedroom and bathroom add flexibility to suit a variety of needs. The building itself is steeped in history and architectural grandeur.
