A glorious deck overlooking the water adjoins a large screen porch designed for elegant summer dinners.
The first floor master suite includes his and hers bathrooms. The second floor has lots of room for guests and a spacious office over the garage with a separate entrance. The ground floor level includes space for all kinds of recreating and for storage including a wine cellar. There are doors to the yard leading to the shore.
