The other three bedrooms in the main home are all just as spacious with the upstairs attic room providing an impressive space for teenagers or the perfect spot for hobbyists. The main bathroom will easily cater to families with its claw-tooth bath, large shower and charming vanity. A separate powder room and laundry add to the ease of modern day living and hosting.
