All three rooms on the second level (1 king, 2 queens) have private ensuite bathrooms, including the master which features a claw-foot tub and separate steam shower. Two bedrooms (1 queen, 2 fulls) on the third floor share a gigantic bathroom. The third floor also features a huge game room complete with pool table and oversize TV.

Completely renovated from top to bottom, this is truly a unique estate.
