Inside, the home opens to a spacious, open layout highlighted by soaring double tray ceilings and abundant natural light. Tile flooring runs throughout the main living areas, complemented by custom Hunter Douglas window treatments, LED recessed lighting, and water views from nearly every room.

A built-in recipe desk offers flexible space for planning meals, managing daily tasks, or working from home. A separate formal dining room with volume ceilings and an arched window provides room for larger gatherings and holidays.
