A gourmet kitchen and formal dining room provide a backdrop for high-end entertaining, while the spacious living room features comfortable seating, a gas fireplace, and is anchored by towering windows that capture breathtaking views of the river. The interior flows seamlessly into a dedicated billiard room with a custom bar and a sitting area overlooking the pool, all complemented by a curated collection of refined art that unites the luxurious aesthetic. The grand staircase leads to three suite bedrooms, two with access to the river facing deck, the ideal place to take in the sunsets, and one with an ocean facing balcony, ideal for catching salty breezes with an evening glass of wine.
