A breakfast nook, formal dining area, spacious living room and adjacent den provide flexibility for intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for owners and guests. Occupying its own expansive wing, the primary suite features water views, a generous walk-in closet and separate his-and-hers bathrooms connected by a shared shower. A soaking tub overlooking the Gulf creates a private sanctuary. Two additional bedrooms occupy a separate guest wing, each with an en-suite bathroom and terrace access.
