The enclosed laundry room includes a washer and dryer, with an adjacent mudroom and indoor tankless water heater. The luxurious primary suite is a sanctuary of elegance, complete with crown molding, a California closet system, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in shower clad in Calacatta marble with opulent fixtures and abundant natural light. Guest accommodations are equally inviting, with spacious bedrooms, dual closets, and beautifully updated baths that harmonize with the home’s character. Outdoor living is elevated with a private Mediterranean-style courtyard featuring a custom wood-fired kitchen, gazebo dining pavilion and restored original deck pillars surrounded by lush new landscaping.
