Six additional fireplaces throughout the home, each adding warmth and ambiance. Elegant living, dining and office spaces filled with natural light - ideal for entertaining or remote work.

The community offers easy access to travel links, scenic trails, beaches, local markets, charming cafes, and shopping - all just minutes away.
