On the main living level, a wrap-around veranda welcomes you to relax and take in the endless water views. Step inside to soaring 20-foot ceilings, walls of windows (nearly 100 in total!) and gleaming Brazilian cherry wood floors that create warmth and elegance throughout the space. Wherever you stand, you're greeted by breathtaking water vistas - it's impossible not to be inspired by the beauty surrounding you.
