Guests will feel right at home as they retire to the attached guest's wing that can be closed off from the rest of the home for more privacy. Accessed via two staircases at each end of your home, the second floor features an office, living room, and two bathrooms, as well as three bedrooms with balcony access and panoramic views of the backyard and waterfront. Bespoke touches abound throughout your 6,496 square foot home including custom closets and cabinetry, built-in bookcases, and hand-cut millwork and crown molding.
