The gorgeous main-level primary suite is a relaxing retreat, complete with a large walk-in shower and a Japanese soaking tub made for those ''Calgon, take me away'' days. A second bedroom and full bath downstairs offer flexibility, while the laundry room/mudroom is a handy spot to drop bags and kick off shoes.
