Bearing right, you're greeted by a spacious living room with peekaboo ocean views through arched doors that open to the ocean breeze. Adjoined to the living room, a sitting room which could be a guest room or office with its own original tile bathroom. Through the hall, you'll find the a private media room accompanied by a guest quarters with a 3⁄4 bathroom with period tilework any purist can appreciate. Back around to the formal dining room with preserved coved ceilings, you can't help but wonder if there's any detail left spared. Following the sound of flowing water coming from the period inspired fountain outside the restored Sunroom, you will be lead to the handcrafted kitchen with opulent marble countertops, cleanliness of the luxury appliances and custom cabinetry, featuring an Aga range, dual Bosch dishwashers, and Sub- zero wine refrigerator and humidor.

The marble finishes of the bathroom with period hardware and dual vanities play effortlessly into the soaking tub which is the perfect way to unwind if the spacious walk-in shower isn't calling you.
