Designed for entertaining and everyday living, the home offers five bedrooms, seven full baths, two half baths, and a three-car garage. Inside, rich hardwood floors complement a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and three wet bars, two with ice makers. A temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cellar, private elevator, four fireplaces, and spiral staircase leading to the crow's nest showcase the home's exceptional craftsmanship. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, glamour bath with dual vanities, oversized shower, jetted tub, and private lakefront balcony.
