The master bedroom can easily accommodate king-size furniture, has a walk-in closet of approximate dimensions 7'x6' & en suite bathroom. The master bathroom with pocket door for added privacy looks like it got its style from the Brady Bunch with a sunken-in shower, vintage tiles & L-shaped counter with cabinet storage.
