A custom-built pantry and laundry cabinetry add to the home’s seamless functionality. The spacious primary suite offers a spa-like retreat, featuring all-natural marble walls, a soaking tub, a modern double vanity, and a large waterfront window that fills the space with natural light. Czech crystal chandeliers in the living room, dining area, primary bedroom, and en suite add a touch of refined luxury.
