Here, indulge in a luxurious oval soaking tub, quartz vanity, infinity-glass shower, and custom walk-in closet---a sensory escape designed for relaxation. On the terrace level, enjoy a second media/living room with a full kitchenette, a spacious second suite, and a third bedroom and bath. Glass doors lead to a stone terrace, surrounded by lush greenery and the scent of pine and wildflowers.
