The main living level is filled with natural light and features a distinctive coal basket fireplace, with double French doors fitted with phantom screens opening to a covered porch overlooking the marina. The adjoining dining area flows seamlessly into the chef's kitchen, appointed with honed Carrara marble and soapstone-quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, Viking hood, Bosch dishwasher, and white porcelain farmhouse sink. A bedroom or study with Juliet balcony and a half bath complete this level.

The suite includes a custom walk-in closet and luxurious stone-tiled bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, separate water closet, and oversized walk-in shower. A second guest suite with private bath and a dedicated laundry room complete the top level. True stone tile adds a timeless finish to all of the home's bathrooms.
