The main level flows effortlessly, with the formal dining room and living room positioned to maximize the stunning views.

The kitchen connects seamlessly to the family room, anchored by a second fireplace—perfect for casual gatherings. A convenient half bath completes this level.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with the spacious bedrooms and the two full baths accented with stone finishes. Upstairs are spacious bedrooms, and baths are accented with stone finishes. The bedroom layout is thoughtfully arranged for privacy and flow—several enjoy outlooks to the Bay—culminating in the expansive primary suite with vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and the quiet pleasure of awakening each morning to unforgettable horizons.

The lower level offers additional space ideal for an office or lounging, a two-car garage with interior access, and additional storage.
