The kitchen, a culinary haven equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, dual sinks, dual islands, and a generously-sized wine fridge, beckons to the inner chef in you, offering a canvas for culinary creations against the backdrop of sweeping waterfront views.

Stepping outside onto the wraparound deck, you're met with an outdoor paradise—a professionally appointed LYNX kitchen that rivals those of five-star resorts.

With ample seating, a full bar, warming drawers, and a plethora of amenities, this outdoor haven is designed to accommodate gatherings of any size with ease. Additionally, the lower covered patio, directly accessible from the finished family room, beckons with its own high-end bar, complete with an ice machine and dishwasher, offering yet another inviting space for relaxation and entertainment.

When it's time to retire for the evening, each of the five bedrooms awaits, boasting king-sized beds for indulgent comfort. The master suite, a true oasis of tranquility, features a cozy fireplace and an opulent master bath that rivals the grandeur of a fantasy realm, complete with a steam shower that promises to whisk you away on an adventure akin to Game of Thrones.

But the extravagance doesn't end there.
