It has two columned arches on each side with glass shelving that displays decorative art. A windowed turret nearby serves as an intimate sunroom with two chic brown checker-patterned armchairs. A wide portal flanked by three sets of classic Corinthian columns graces the main living area and leads into the large open gourmet kitchen.

The kitchen includes custom cream-colored cabinetry richly accented by veined granite countertops and gleaming black ebony appliances. An entertainment island with bar seating invites you to enjoy savory drinks and tasty appetizers.

Another wide arched portal framed by two columns leads into a formal dining room with a vintage chandelier above a rustic beach-inspired hardwood table with six chairs beside windows with a glass door looking out upon a swimming pool.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom and two beautifully furnished guest bedrooms are on the second floor, with ensuite baths and direct access to the furnished upper-level balcony.

A charming cottage-styled guest bedroom with a king-size bed and two twin beds has an ensuite bath with a tub shower combination.

A guest bedroom on this floor also has a king-size bed, a twin bed in a sunny turret, an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and a private balcony overlooking the pool.
