The large master suite is truly a relaxing oasis, featuring walls clad in reclaimed wood planks, which are also repeated on the ceiling of the en-suite bath. The master bath is adorned with hexagonal slate floor tiles, a marble-topped double vanity, and a steel-casement enclosed steam shower with slate slab walls.
