The kitchen flows seamlessly into a dramatic double-height atrium-style great room anchored by a custom masonry fireplace and sophisticated wet bar, with French doors opening to the resort-inspired rear grounds for a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle experience.
Luxury and craftsmanship continue throughout the home with hand-selected designer elements including Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings, specialty ceiling and wall finishes, custom mango and walnut millwork, bespoke built-ins, designer lighting, burl wood vanities and tailored window treatments. The richly appointed library/office, elegant formal spaces and multiple lounge and flex areas create an exceptional sense of warmth, sophistication and versatility.
The primary suite is a true private sanctuary, featuring custom millwork, bespoke built-ins, multiple walk-in closets and a lavish spa-inspired bath finished with custom stonework, soaking tub and oversized glass-enclosed shower.
