A full bathroom and a seventh bedroom, ideal for guests or a main-floor office, round out this level. Upstairs, six generously sized bedrooms continue to impress, all with gleaming hardwood floors. The primary suite includes a private half-bath and is positioned to capture stunning, direct views of Pistakee Bay, and the floor also features a full bath serving the remaining bedrooms.
