The second-floor primary suite enjoys exceptional harbor views and is accompanied by an additional guest suite with a distinctive cypress-paneled ceiling and full bath.

The garden level is designed for both entertaining and wellness, featuring a paneled billiard room, secondary kitchen and living area, bedroom suite, sauna, steam shower, exercise room, laundry room, and direct access to a private outdoor terrace.
