A storage closet adjacent to the kitchen makes sure you have a place for everything. Down the hall is one of two full bathrooms, again with lots of built in storage, a nice sized vanity and a shower tub combo. Continuing down the hall is the first bedroom.

The well designed en suite bathroom features a stall shower and large vanity with ample storage, as well as a separate W/C room.
