The backyard is a private oasis, featuring a beautifully designed 75-foot inground saltwater lap pool. Large 8-foot, 4-panel stackable sliding glass doors create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, opening to a fully screened patio ideal for year-round enjoyment. Whether you're swimming laps, sunbathing, dining alfresco, or hosting a poolside gathering, this outdoor retreat offers luxury, comfort, and function.
Privately nestled at the water's edge, a detached two-bedroom, two-bath Guest Cottage is set at a comfortable distance from the main residence, ensuring privacy for both spaces. Ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or staff, it features a full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, and a fenced yard with charming nautical touches. Nearly every room enjoys sweeping water views, creating a serene and self-contained retreat.
