The Great Room with 13’-high cathedral ceiling features a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace and a beautiful butterfly glass wall that opens to the pool, patio, spa and breezeway.

The Primary Ensuite Bathroom with oversized shower, custom glass door, and oval stand-alone tub also has two floating vanities with marble counters, mirrors, and custom lighting.
