Upstairs are two additional bedrooms; a junior suite with a balcony that opens to soft breezes, and a massive primary bedroom with a sitting area, a gorgeous turret space that could make a home gym or office, and glass door opening to a balcony that overlooks city lights and picturesque mountain views.
