Adjacent, a glass-front wine room with custom shelving showcases your collection, while the dining area opens directly to the outdoor kitchen for seamless indoor-outdoor gatherings. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace and pocketing glass doors to the lanai and pool deck. The spa bath pairs floating, under-lit double vanities and a makeup station with a freestanding soaking tub and an oversized shower featuring dual heads, rain heads, and wands. Dual boutique-style walk-in closets complete the suite. Also on the first floor: a private office with discreet access to a "hidden" safe room, a powder room, a mud room, and a full laundry. Outdoors, a heated saltwater pool and spa with LED lighting anchor an expansive paver deck designed for sunset lounging. Ceiling speakers set the mood, and the full summer kitchen with natural-gas grill, beverage refrigerator, and ice maker.
