It also offers access to the sun deck, with a hot tub just outside. Elevator access serves all levels. A half level down, a powder bath connects the main living area to the mid-level below. The mid-level is centered around a substantial, 500+ sqft den, ideal for watching TV and casual gatherings, with near floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and look out to the wooded setting. The den opens to a wide covered deck for outdoor relaxation. Three bedrooms are positioned on this level, including one with deck access where a hanging swing creates a comfortable spot to unwind.
