Above, the loft-style primary suite overlooks the expansive interior, offering a private retreat with laminated wood floors, skylights, and a luxurious bath featuring Italian tile and floor-embedded lighting. Natural light pours in, enhancing both the warmth and the dramatic architectural lines of this truly distinctive home.
