Hardwood throughout the first and second floor add warmth and beauty, while large rooms and high ceilings provide plenty of decorating options. There are first and second-floor primary bedroom suites, so pick whichever matches your lifestyle. The first-floor primary, only 5 years old, could also be perfect for guests, inlaws, a nanny, or make it a big playroom as it's right off the kitchen.
