Enter into this tropical haven: expansive veranda where mesmerizing east-facing bay vistas unfold endlessly, framing sailboats, dolphins, and glowing sunrises like a living canvas-ideal for al fresco dining or morning coffee rituals. Nearly every room captures these spellbinding panoramas, but the remodeled sunroom steals the show: a serene retreat bathed in golden light, its wraparound windows offering peaceful, unobstructed views of the verdant garden, enveloped in swaying palms and exotic blooms, all within your private walled sanctuary. The great room glows with a cozy fireplace. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms with soaring 12-foot ceilings and spa-like ensuites await, plus a ground-floor guest suite for visiting family. A detached studio over the garage offers flexible office or getaway space.
