Encompassing 5,987 square feet of interior living and 1,505 square feet of private terraces, the residence features four en-suite bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a private elevator entrance, and a rare enclosed four-car garage. A private elevator opens to a gracious foyer and expansive interiors featuring high ceilings, crown molding, coffered and tray ceilings, polished marble flooring, and beautiful hardwood floors in the bedroom suites. Walls of oversized impact-rated windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors frame spectacular Gulf-to-bay views throughout the residence.
