Advanced smart home automation allows seamless global control, blending innovation with refined living. The custom front door opens to a dramatic foyer and a great room defined by a coffered ceiling, media wall, linear fireplace, and expansive bay views. The dining space features a quartz-topped bar with wine storage and flows into a chef's kitchen appointed with Thermador appliances, a large floating island with quartz waterfall edges, and a walk-in pantry with an additional Bosch refrigerator. The primary suite is a tranquil sanctuary with floor-to-ceiling glass, sliders, and breathtaking water views. Two custom walk-in closets complement a spa-inspired bath featuring floating vanities, a soaking tub, a custom multi-head shower, and sliders leading to a private Zen garden with an outdoor shower. A sculptural staircase and glass-enclosed wine wall lead to an upper-level loft with a wet bar and waterfront terrace. A refined office with custom built-ins and four en-suite guest bedrooms, each with custom closets, projector screens, and private balconies, ensure comfort and privacy throughout. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a resort-style waterfront retreat. An infinity-edge pool with sun shelf, in-pool table, and cascading spa anchors the setting, surrounded by multiple seating areas, a firepit, and an outdoor shower. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen-featuring a smoker, grill, wok, and side burner-makes alfresco entertaining effortless, while a spiral staircase leads to an upper terrace with panoramic views. The newer deepwater dock is designed for serious boating, offering a 20,000-pound boat lift, jet ski lift, water and power, ambient lighting, and a dedicated fishing area.
