From here, it's common to see majestic eagles gliding across the water, adding to the serene setting. The main-floor primary suite offers a private lakeview balcony, marble fireplace, jetted tub, rain shower, dual marble sinks, a walk-in closet, and nautical porthole window with patio seat. The chef’s kitchen boasts a 6-burner Viking range, double wall oven, Miele panel-front dishwasher, granite island, copper ceiling, and custom cabinetry.
