Garage plus 3-5 car secure driveway parking. This pristinely maintained home offers so many options for modern living. The current owners used it as premier live-work space, with offices and flexible living space on the 1st floor. An elevator connects the 1st floor with the superb finished lower level and garage/parking. The 2nd floor offers the kitchen and open living and dining area. The full primary suite, excellent storage, full-size washer/dryer, and another full bath. The third floor offers three more bedrooms and a full bath.
