A walk-in closet and private dressing area with a sink, mirror, generous storage, and skylight can be closed off from the updated full bath, also accessible from the loft. A landscaped pathway with a garden gate leads to the front door, while an attached one-car garage and additional parking space beside the hedge add convenience.
