The private primary suite includes exterior access to the backyard, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, and dual sinks. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Covered front and back patios extend the living space outdoors, with dual access from both sides of the loop offers potential for an ADU, RV parking, workshop, or additional storage (buyer to verify).
