Double sliding doors lead to the principal suite on the second level, which has high ceilings, built-in speakers, a cozy sitting space, and a spacious walk-in closet with a dressing area and bespoke built-ins. With a big hot tub, soaking spa, and many lounge and seating areas, the suite opens immediately onto a spacious private terrace with views of the pool and Intracoastal Waterway.
