A north-facing glass-roofed atrium is one of the home's standout features, flooding the space with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the beautifully landscaped rear garden. A sunroom corridor, separate laundry and powder room complete this thoughtfully designed level.
On the first floor, two additional bedrooms enjoy leafy, elevated outlooks and are serviced by a fresh contemporary bathroom. An expansive family room opens onto a private balcony, making it an ideal teenage retreat or quiet place to unwind.
