Ten-foot retractable glass doors open to a spacious deck and landscaped backyard-an entertainer's dream.
Upstairs, the serene primary suite features a king-sized bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths, a home office/den, and ample closets complete the upper levels. The full-height finished cellar, exclusively accessible to the triplex, offers incredible flexibility for a home gym, media lounge, wine room, or playroom, with a powder room and direct garden access.
