The house has an open-concept floor layout that makes it easy to move from the living room to the kitchen or dining area, just like his previous condo. In addition to modern stainless-steel appliances, the kitchen has a breakfast bar that is ideal for informal dining. The comfortable master bedroom, which is located upstairs, has an office-like shade of blue and offers plenty of room for Bromstad to express her artistic side.
A large portion of the house, including the master bathroom, was remodeled some years prior to Bromstad’s acquisition. This renovation was completed in 2017. This en suite includes a large glass door shower and twin basins, however, it’s unclear if it contains a bathtub or not. A huge, recently restored swimming pool and a roomy covered terrace provide plenty of outdoor entertaining options.
