Such a fine home designed around the needs of those who are frequent entertainers, adventurous cooks and yet desirous of comfortable, cozy spaces for quiet reflection and the pursuit of numerous interests!

A private master wing offers architectural interest in its magnificent ensuite bath, huge WIC and private porch! Upstairs are 2-bedrooms w/ bamboo floors and a lovely balcony akin to a ship's bridge overlooking the waters below!
