The spacious primary suite is tucked at the end of the hall and features two closets and an en-suite bath with vintage tile and a glass shower, retaining its mid-century charm while offering comfort and function. Large windows throughout the upper level fill the home with light and frame views of the surrounding greenery and distant ridgelines.
