Off the great room is a galley-style kitchen equipped with tiled floors, stone countertops, ample cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and gas-burning stove.

The king-size primary suite enjoys a pair of oversized reach-in closets, two exposures, and a windowed en-suite bathroom with a marble vanity and deep soaking tub. There is also a second balcony for morning and evening beverages, lovely sunset vistas, and more. The second bedroom has a deep reach-in closet and easy access to the second full bathroom.
