Fully air-conditioned with a high domed cypress ceiling, the main level offers an elegantly-appointed Great Room finished floor-to-ceiling with a spectacular handpainted mural, a gourmet kitchen to delight any chef, an office equipped with a DSL connection and Wi-Fi for your laptop, a dining area, powder room, and an opulent king master suite with a romantic four-poster bed and large jacuzzi tub for two.
