Upon entering, you're greeted by a light-filled living room with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, framing panoramic vistas that stretch for miles. Elegant barn doors open to reveal the heart of the home—the great room, featuring an open-concept family room, kitchen, and dining area. Bamboo floors unify the space, while a stunning Palladian-topped picture window, crown molding, and beadboard accents infuse the area with character and coastal charm.
