The luxurious primary suite offers tray ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bath with soaking tub and chandelier, large walk in shower and breathtaking arched windows overlooking farmland and the mountains beyond. A completely renovated in-law quarters adds versatility and privacy-featuring a brand-new kitchen, new bath, new gas fireplace, French door to the terrace, and a newly added den that expands the square footage.
