A two-piece bath rounds out this main floor space, succinctly located near the back door, perfect for kids in the yard! The second floor of this home is traditionally built for a family, with large principal rooms all with great closet, space, and a one of a kind, four piece bath with standalone glass shower, separate soaker tub, stone, top vanity, and top of the line tile work.
