En suite owner's bath completely updated with custom hand-glazed cabinetry, granite counters, pedestal slipper tub and walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure and shower jet system, dual sink vanity separated by linen tower, designer light and plumbing fixtures, and two skylights for natural light to filter in during the day. Dedicated office space is perfect for remote working with two separate offices both finished with custom hand-glazed cabinetry, granite counters and storage specific to office use.
