The listing mentions water views, but that doesn't adequately convey just how spectacular the back yard is. Simply a beautiful scene looking from the living room. Upstairs skylights shed nice light. Interesting floor plan upstairs features bedroom...
and office or sitting room space partially separated by two walk-in closets.
