The kitchen flows seamlessly into the soaring great room, where 17-foot ceilings, exposed beams, a custom limestone fireplace mantel, and walls of natural light overlook the resort-style grounds. A curved window wall in the casual dining area frames sweeping views of the pool and private backyard. Additional main-level spaces include a fireside gallery/study, an elegant formal dining room seating twelve or more, a music room, and a scullery bar with illuminated mirrored cabinetry, ice maker, and sink-thoughtfully designed for effortless entertaining.

Spacious upper-level bedrooms and a private guest apartment with separate living area and direct stair access to the three car garage provide flexibility and privacy. Whole house generator for those days/nights after a big storm. The terrace level is designed for elevated leisure, highlighted by a 120-inch multi-screen video wall and a grand marble bar with antique glass backsplash, a second full "Summer" Kitchen, custom cabinetry, beverage coolers, ice maker, and dishwasher-ideal for hosting unforgettable gatherings that extend to the pool terrace beyond.
