As you enter, you’ll be drawn to the elegant foyer with French doors that lead to an outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining. The gourmet outdoor kitchen is equipped with a Sapphire grill, Memphis pellet grill, Blackstone griddle, and gas burner, all complemented by durable, waterproof HDPE cabinetry and sleek concrete countertops. Adjacent to the outdoor kitchen, a full bath adds convenience for outdoor living.

On cooler evenings, gather around the gas firepit for cozy conversations. Beyond the pool, a 70-foot dock with two boat lifts (20,000 lb. and 10,000 lb.) awaits your aquatic adventures.
Back inside, you’ll find beautiful oak engineered hardwood flooring and stunning wood beams throughout the living spaces. The bar area features an ice machine and mini wine fridge, while the inviting living room includes a fireplace. The chef’s kitchen boasts high-end Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, double sinks, double dishwashers, and a dream-worthy butler's pantry.
The main living floor hosts the luxurious primary bedroom with his and her closets, one guest bedroom, a half bath, and a convenient laundry room. Relax on the front and rear porches, where you can soak in breathtaking views of the sunsets and sunrises.
