A GE Nugget Ice Maker is located here, so guests can easily enjoy restaurant-quality ice without ever leaving the lounge area.
The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, designed with both style and functionality in mind. You’ll find custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium stainless-steel appliances, including a 48-inch gas range, oversized 56-inch refrigerator, wine cooler, and a second GE Nugget Ice Maker. The oversized island with bar seating makes this the heart of the home, perfect for casual breakfasts or cocktail prep before dinner.
The adjacent dining area features a large table that comfortably seats the entire group, allowing everyone to share meals together. Pendant lighting and elegant finishes make even casual dining feel like a special occasion.
Each of the seven bedrooms is designed as a private sanctuary, with plush bedding, calming coastal palettes, and thoughtful touches.
