You’ll even find a separate living area/cinema room which comes with a dartboard for those moments where you are waiting through an ad or commercial.
The master also has a rather unique and special perk hidden in the private bathroom. You’ll find yourself doing a double-take when you see the vast walk-in shower that comes with both an overhead/waterfall style showerhead above, and a normal one to the side ensuring a relaxing, and unique, experience. The living area, of course, is the ideal place to relax as a group and you’ll find the beautiful blue couch just calling your name to relax within its embrace as you watch something on the large television in front of you. It even has a gas fireplace which is sure to add that extra touch of warmth to your home’s ambiance. In addition to the large full kitchen, there is even a small wine bar for those sommeliers in your group. As well, the final touch that makes this home so lovely is the large floor-to-ceiling windows which ensure not only plenty of natural light but also ensures no matter where you stand, you’ll have access to a beautiful view.
