An elegant spiral staircase anchors the great room, which opens through expansive walls of glass to the rear grounds where an illuminated pool and manicured landscaping merge seamlessly with the horizon beyond. A grand fireplace adds warmth and sophistication to the view-centric living space. The formal dining room that flows to a covered and enclosed outdoor dining and lounge area. The kitchen is richly appointed with exquisite full-slab stonework, an open-concept breakfast nook, and adjacent living space, creating a perfect balance of luxury and functionality. Additional highlights include a main-level guest suite, a lounge/library, a massage and salon suite, and a spacious subterranean level featuring a game room, multiple flexible living areas, and additional bedroom and bathroom accommodations.
