An outdoor kitchen with an Artisan grill, granite countertops and a beverage cooler make alfresco dining effortless. The primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring terrace access, two custom walk-in closets and an en-suite bath with dual vanities, a private water closet and a spa-like walk-in shower. The guest level is equally inviting, offering two spacious bedrooms, two well-appointed baths and a bonus room with terrace access.
