- The serene bedroom suite features two generous custom closets --- one by McCormick and one by California Closets --- each fully finished to the back walls. A built-in desk creates an elegant workspace, while the en-suite bath offers a custom vanity and a spacious walk-in shower, evoking a private spa retreat.
